About the Role

Minerva, in partnership with a global client specialising in health and disability assessments, is seeking GMC‑registered Medical Practitioners to join their expanding team.

• Complete assessments typically last around 45 minutes, with comprehensive training and ongoing support provided to ensure your success.

What We’re Looking For

• GMC‑registered Doctor with a minimum of 2 years’ post‑registration experience (FY2 or above).
• Strong communication and report‑writing skills.
• Ability to work toward individual and team goals within a supportive environment.
• Broad medical knowledge, with experience managing a range of physical and mental health conditions.

What’s on Offer

• Competitive Salary – £72,000 per annum
• 31 days annual leave (including Bank Holidays)
• GMC fee reimbursement & CPD support
• Private medical insurance & life assurance
• Enhanced maternity and paternity packages
• Comprehensive clinical training and ongoing professional development
