Join us in strengthening patient safety, quality and trust

At Medica, we are committed to improving lives through excellence in diagnostics. As a Trainee Compliance Officer, you will play an essential role in helping us uphold the high standards that protect our patients, clients, and teams. This role offers an exceptional opportunity to understand the inner workings of a fast‑growing healthcare organisation while building core skills in governance, risk, accreditation, and quality assurance. No two days are the same, and your work will directly support safe, high‑quality clinical services across the UK and Ireland.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work closely with colleagues across the business to support:

• Preparation for CQC, QSI, ISO9001, ISO15189, BS70000 and CHKS audits and surveys

• Gathering, reviewing and organising information for internal and external accreditation processes, including Medica Diagnostics Ireland

• Maintaining action logs, document management systems, and quality controls

• Administrative support for DCB0129 and DCB0160 clinical risk standards

• Minuting meetings and coordinating follow‑up actions across multiple workstreams

• Engaging with internal and external stakeholders, including accreditation bodies, NHS contacts and regulatory partners

This is a varied role where you will make a meaningful impact on compliance outcomes, patient safety, and operational excellence.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills

• High attention to detail, organisation and curiosity

• Confidence working independently and managing your workload

• A positive, solutions‑focused approach and willingness to learn

• Familiarity with Microsoft Office tools

Experience in healthcare, administration, quality, data protection or audit is beneficial but not essential.

Why join Medica?

• A clear development pathway, with the opportunity to progress into Compliance Officer and Senior roles over time

• Exposure to multiple areas of the organisation, from governance to clinical quality

• Supportive team culture with opportunities to get involved socially

• Training, mentoring and the option for future formal apprenticeship development

• The chance to meaningfully influence patient care quality and regulatory excellence
