Taking on a more rewarding challenge as a medical officer.

Recruiting tomorrow’s Army today.

As a medical officer for the Capita Recruiting Partnership Project (RPP), you'll be carrying out efficient medical screenings, appeals and approvals at our Army assessment centre. By making sure the right candidates pass assessment, you won't just be keeping our recruitment process running smoothly, you'll also be helping to build lifelong careers in the Army. Working alongside a dedicated team of fellow medical doctors, clinical staff and administrators, your work will contribute directly to our national security effort and make a huge difference in the local community.

This is a fantastic opportunity for somebody looking for a different kind of clinical career, but still make the most of their skills and experience. Even better, you’ll enjoy a great work-life balance whilst helping to make our country safer.

What you’ll be doing:

• conducting face-to-face medical assessments, paperwork screening and appeals for soldier and officer candidates
• assisting with the management of RPP medical doctors, including training, governance and performance
• assisting with the coaching of clinical staff to meet productivity, quality and outcome measures
• deputising for the lead medical doctor during any absences
• assisting with the first-level appeal process and maintaining appeals within the agreed service standards
• maintaining GMC registration, licence to practise, accreditation and skill mix.

What we’re looking for:

• a fully GMC qualified medical practitioner with licence to practise
• an empathetic leader with demonstrable managerial and delegation skills
• IT literacy and experience with Microsoft programmes
• excellent organisational skills
• the ability to work effectively and efficiently to tight deadlines
• an effective communicator in person and on paper.
