Trainee Service Technician
Leyland, Lancashire
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’re now looking for a dedicated Trainee Service Technician to join us and help provide high-quality products to customers across Lancashire.
The Benefits
- Basic starting salary of £25,000 with OTE of approx. £27,000+ (with on-call payments)
- Contributory Pension scheme
- On-call and call-out payments in addition to salary
- Discounts and cashback on shopping, supermarkets and holidays as part of our rewards scheme
- 33 days’ annual leave allowance
- Full Induction with great training and support from dedicated team members
- Salary sacrifice schemes, including Cycle to Work
- Receive a treat on your birthday
- Death in Service benefit provided
- Be a part of an employee-owned business, with the associated benefits of having a stake in the company
The Role
On completion of your training as a Trainee Service Technician, you’ll be tasked with ensuring the effective, timely and efficient delivery of products to customer sites, first-line fault service visits and repairs against specific service level agreements. You will also undertake planned preventative maintenance activities, field modifications and provide support to customers for the products under contract with Medstrom. All activities are recorded via our job management system.
Main responsibilities of the role:
- Deliver clean, ready-to-use products to and around customer sites

- Complete records of testing, delivery and collection
- Maintain available product stock and spare parts inventory
- Complete product modifications when required
- Provide product demonstrations and basic training to staff
- Maintain a clean and tidy work environment
Hours of work: 37.5 per week, working Monday to Friday. Once trained, you will work 1 in 6 weekends, with two days off the following week.
You will also be required to participate in an out-of-hours on-call rota (once trained) to support the team and the customers, which covers one in six weekends (with time off in the week). This is subject to additional on-call payments.

Qualifications and experience requirements:
- Mechanical or electrical background desirable, but not essential, as full training will be provided
- Experience of delivery driving and planning routes would be desirable
