If you have clinical experience of working with people who have Post Covid, Long Term Conditions (mental or physical health), or Neurological Conditions, we are keen to hear from you.

This opportunity would provide you both clinical, management and leadership experience to guide the next development of this service's development to meet the needs of Bromley residents who have Post Covid.

Bromley Healthcare is a great place to work. The unique way we deliver services and offer everyone who works here a voice, means that your career with us will be rewarding.

Social Enterprises are a fairly new and exciting way to deliver healthcare, offering many of the traditional advantages of the NHS (such as excellent training and development) with the freedom for innovation by being able to reinvest any surpluses we make into the community.

Salary is dependant on NHS experience and current banding/pay point, applicants from outside the NHS will receive the start point of the salary scale in line with NHS terms & conditions.
