The hospital is equipped to handle a wide variety of complex cases.

They deliver exceptional care—whether it’s to patients, clients, or each other. As part of the team, you’ll play an integral role in maintaining these high standards. You’ll be involved in surgical support, inpatient care, and nurse‑led appointments, and you’ll take responsibility for admissions, discharges, and medication management.

In return, they offer a range of benefits. These include a health cash plan that covers services such as dental, physiotherapy, and optical care, along with 24/7 access to a private GP and confidential counselling support. You’ll receive five weeks of annual leave plus bank holidays, rising to six weeks with length of service, and an additional paid Day for You to spend however you wish. They also support your ongoing development with a £750 CPD allowance and two paid CPD days per year, along with opportunities to pursue funded certificates and access internal learning resources. Your RCVS and VDS fees are covered, and you’ll be offered a pension scheme, a Cycle to Work scheme, and staff discounts.
