- Participating in audits, clinical governance and service improvement initiatives.
- Supporting clinics across Practice Plus Group Hospital Ilford and satellite locations when required.

- Minimum of 2 years' post-registration clinical experience.
- Excellent clinical assessment skills.
- ECG interpretation, auscultation and blood result interpretation skills.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
