At HCA UK we’re incredibly proud of our team culture. It’s this sense of connection and collaboration that allows us to deliver exceptional outcomes for our patients. But, we know that no hospital team is complete without the vital support of its bank – and now, we’re looking for people to be part of our growing Bank team of Complementary Therapists in Manchester.

We deliver exceptional services across the Manchester area via the Christie Private Care Centre.

Opportunities within our Complementary Therapy Bank team cover a range of roles at all grades/levels including, but not limited to: Complementary Therapist and Senior Complementary Therapist.

Above all else, we’re committed to the care and improvement of human life. It’s this guiding vision that influences everything we do at HCA UK. From the CEO to the colleagues on the floor we all have a part to play in delivering exceptional care to our patients. To others, this may just be a Bank role, but to us, you’re a valued member of our team, a team that improves lives on a daily basis. What you’ll bring:
