Endoscope Support Specialist

Olympus is a global leader in the medical device and technology industry. For more than 100 years, we have focused on making people's lives healthier, safer, and more fulfilling. Our products and solutions help to diagnose, prevent, and treat illnesses, further scientific research and keep people safe.

As an important ambassador for Olympus, you will often be the first point of contact for our customers helping them through various situations which could ultimately affect the day to day running of the department and services offered to the patient.

These types of issues include avoidable endoscope damage resulting in repairs, new starter training or understanding the correct method to clean an endoscope. In doing so effectively you will be helping ensure the delivery of vital medical procedures can continue wherever possible.

This is achieved by educating and persuading end users to improve the care and handling of a wide range of medical devices to prevent avoidable equipment damage.
