About Us

Are you ready to embark on a career with a company that places both its employees and customers at the heart of everything they do? If you're a motivated, customer-focused individual with a clean driving licence and a can-do attitude, we want to hear from you.

You’ll fit in well with us at Medstrom, where we have disrupted the market by providing proven and well-evidenced products and services to our busy customers, helping to make a real difference to both their workload and, crucially, their patients’ outcomes.

Established in 2010, Medstrom has grown substantially by being patient-focused to become the organisation we are today, whilst maintaining an open culture and ethos. In 2022, Medstrom became an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), unlike any other company in the industry. This allows each employee to have a vested interest in the company, where we can all contribute to and share in the company’s success.

We are looking for a dedicated Trainee Service Technician to join us, working a Monday - Friday shift, covering customers in Portsmouth.
