Reporting to the Clinic Manager and Regional Clinical Lead, you will work independently, and alongside an onsite multidisciplinary team of primary care clinicians, physiotherapists, Fitness and Wellbeing Advisors, and other health professionals, as well as the relevant managers. It's also important that you share our values. So you'll be passionate and caring in the service you provide. Like us, you believe in putting clients first, so you'll have the freedom to do what's right for your clients, always seeking better ways of doing things. We combine the best disciplines of business with social values. We measure success not only by the profits we make but also by our ability to improve people's health.
