What’s in It for You:

  • 6 months of paid, full-time training with expert clinical tutors.
  • Maintain your NMC/HCPC registration with full revalidation support.
  • Access to 100+ hours of protected CPD annually.

  • Career progression into clinical supervision, training, or quality assurance.

What You’ll Need:

  • 2+ year of post-registration experience in a patient-facing role.

  • Basic IT literacy and typing speed of 30+ wpm.
  • A compassionate, detail-oriented approach to care.

Benefits:
