Important Details Before Applying

• Where: On site at Truly Leeds, 4 York Place, Leeds LS1 2DR, United Kingdom. This is a clinical role, so there's no remote option.
• When we open: The clinic is expected to open in September, with clinical team members starting from August to support training, onboarding and clinical setup. We'd love someone who can join us before opening, but tell us your notice period and we'll work with it.
• Hours: 30-40 hours per week on a shift/rota basis, covering the clinic's opening hours across seven days. Your rota is published in advance and built with the team.
• Right to work: You must have the right to work in the UK. We ask every successful candidate for evidence of this before starting, and we apply the same check to everyone.
• Pre-employment checks: As a CQC-registered provider, any offer is subject to a DBS check at the level required for the role, satisfactory references, proof of identity and qualifications, confirmation of your GDC registration, and evidence of Hepatitis B immunisation with titre levels — or an occupational health risk assessment where immunity can't be evidenced.
• Interview process: A short phone call with our recruitment team, then a clinical interview with the Clinical Lead. We'll tell you where you stand at each stage.
