Who you’ll be working for:
This organisation is an independent, employee-owned company which develops and markets products for urology and ostomy care.

A strongly principled organisation who value integrity, strong customer focus and respect.
What you’ll enjoy:

- Very structured training plan which takes place over a 6 -9 month period. Everything is covered from product training to sales and cultural beliefs training. Everyone new to the company is also appointed a peer mentor to support them.
What you’ll be doing:
- This is a varied sales role, which will involve dealing with a wide variety of call points within secondary care.
- As potential patients may be suffering from a range of illness including cancer, MS and spinal injuries, you will embed yourself in the trusts and work through a number of departments in the hospitals dealing with customers such as urologists, urology nurse specialists, continence care nurses, neurologists and spinal injuries staff.
- There is likely to be some contact with primary care stakeholders as the patient pathway from secondary care out into the community is set up and this may involve you liaising with non-clinical stakeholders such as clinical procurement personnel and urology service managers as well as meds management.
- You will work closely with your home delivery partner to set up new patient registrations for patients using ISC products on discharge from hospitals.
- As patients need to be shown how to use the products themselves, you will also be responsible for training clinical staff to enable them to do this, and as such the role may sometimes be patient facing.
Here’s what you need:
- Educated to degree level or equivalent you will have a minimum of three to five years' medical sales experience and understand the purchasing landscape of the NHS.
- You'll understand account management and be comfortable engaging with a range of stakeholders which will include both clinical contacts and non-clinical stakeholders such as procurement and contacts within NDC.
- With excellent interpersonal skills, you'll be a strong communicator and be able to build strong relationships with your customers.
