Job description
Introduction
If you care for others without a second thought and are looking for a rewarding career where you can make a difference to the lives of young people and adults with mental health conditions, then join the team at Potters Bar Clinic as a Healthcare Assistant.
Whether you are looking for a new career or already work in healthcare through the NHS or private sector, you’ll receive training to join the team, where you will be valued and supported, with career development opportunities available.
