JOB DESCRIPTION:

With a track record of innovation and development, (COMPANY NAME) Diabetes Care designs, develops and manufactures leading-edge glucose monitoring systems and test strips for use in both home and hospital settings. We have a Global Centre of Excellence for Medical Devices based in Witney, Oxfordshire. The site manufactures significant quantities of test strips annually and has also been instrumental in the research, development and manufacture of the next generation FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System, launched in September 2014. We are passionate about doing work that improves the quality of people's lives.

We currently have an opportunity for a Workshop Engineer to join our Research and Development Engineering team.
