Allied Health Professionals careers

Allied professionals in the main are degree level professionals that are not doctors or nurses. They would include Physiotherapists, Sonographers, Radiographers and Pharmacists.

What are the benefits of working as an allied professional at Benenden Hospital?

We employ a wide range of healthcare specialities, such as surgery, orthopaedics, neurology, and cardiology. All of these are supported by an extremely friendly and inclusive team of radiographers, sonographers, physiotherapists and by our pharmacy team.

Their focus is on prevention and improvement of health and wellbeing to maximise the potential for individuals to live full and active lives within their family circles, social networks, education/training, and the workplace.

I am a Pharmacy Technician, and I am involved with every step of the patient's journey from the pre-assessment right through to their discharge. Benenden Hospital has been very supportive and accommodating in the years that I have been here.

They have encouraged my learning and development. I feel like a valued member of the Pharmacy team and supported by the wider management team. It’s been great to be involved over the years and to see how Benenden Hospital has evolved.
