This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced clinician to assist the Clinical Manager in supporting the clinical team in delivering a consistent high standard of patient care within the department.

Lymington UTC sees approximately 30,000 attendances per year and this demand has increased since the COVID pandemic. Our clinical team comprises of nurse practitioners, specialist paramedics, doctor/GPs, as well as healthcare support workers.
