The Clinic

  • Modern, well equipped hospital set up for ECC work
  • Supportive team environment with a focus on clinical standards
  • Strong emphasis on CPD and ongoing development

What They’re Looking For

  • Comfortable working independently on nights
  • Interest in ECC, whether developing or experienced

Salary & Benefits

  • Professional fees covered
  • CPD support and funding
