About the role

You will take a clinical lead role where required, supporting the daily activities of Grade 2 Allied Health Assistants or volunteers as directed by an AHP. In addition, you will demonstrate a strong commitment to ongoing learning and professional development, not only for yourself but also in supporting the growth of others.
