Our Client is an assistive technology company that empowers people with disabilities who experience speech difficulties to express themselves, connect with others, and live more independent lives.
They are proud to be a global leader in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), supporting people across the UK, US, Europe, and beyond. But what truly sets them apart is the people: passionate, collaborative, and driven by the impact our products have every day.

- Work collaboratively across Customer Services, Production, Quality, Supply Chain and Engineering, helping to remove barriers, improve communication and drive operational excellence across the entire customer journey.
- Lead improvements that reduce turnaround times, streamline processes, improve reporting, introduce best practice and prepare the department for future regulatory requirements, including ISO 13485 compliance.

- Product reliability, quality and regulatory compliance.
Every repair you and your team complete has a direct impact on someone's ability to communicate, connect with others and live independently. The work is technically challenging, highly rewarding and genuinely meaningful.
