This role is based within a dynamic multi-disciplinary referral centre offering state-of-the-art facilities and a supportive, progressive clinical environment.

Located in Greater Manchester, this prominent 24‑hour hospital and referral facility features exceptional modern technology, including an on‑site CT scanner, four operating theatres, six consulting rooms, a dedicated ICU, digital X‑ray, advanced ultrasound suites, endoscopy, laparoscopy, and a comprehensive in‑house laboratory.
