This is a brilliant opportunity to experience the buzz of an ECC caseload while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. You'll be joining a close-knit, supportive team that aims to fully work up cases during the OOH shift. There's always a nurse on site, even when you're working sole charge, and we have a WhatsApp support group so you're never on your own.

• Accommodation available while you're working

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience in ECC and ideally 2 years post grad preferred – we're flexible on the two-year post-grad experience if you've worked in OOH or ECC

• Confident and competent with sole charge

• Ideally experience with abdominal ultrasound and radiography – support is always on hand!
