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.

Working as an Allied Health Professional

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.

So this job is my first job since I qualified as a newly qualified radiographer and the reason for me to choose Benenden Hospital is because I had my placement at Benenden Hospital. When I had a placement, I had really impressed with this hospital because the environment is beautiful and the staff are all experienced, skilled and very nice, very friendly.

They can help me with the career progression; they teach me from the theory to the practice. I would highly recommend it if some people looking for a job. I feel so proud I can be a member of staff of this wonderful team.
