• Join a team that lives our values of safety, integrity, kindness and transparency.
• All of SpaMedica’s hospitals inspected by the CQC have been rated as ‘Good‘ or ‘Outstanding’.
• We have recently been awarded investors in people Platinum accreditation.
• Opportunities to grow, learn new skills and advance your career.
• Be part of a caring, community focused team involved in charity work.

Benefits:

• 33 days holidays (inclusive of bank holidays) increasing with length of service.
• Performance bonuses twice a year (up to 10%).
• CPD provided internally.
• Competitive pension and maternity benefits.
• Recommend a friend scheme (£350 reward for both).
• Free quarterly snacks, flu vaccinations and DBS checks.
• Benefits and discounts at a large selection of retailers/hospitality.
• Continuous training and development programme through our internal learning management system and clinical training team to help enhance your skills.
• Paid travel expenses.
