Locala Sexual Health Service delivers specialist sexual health care across Stockport, Tameside, Wigan, Leigh, Dewsbury, Huddersfield and Bradford. We are a welcoming, inclusive and non-judgemental service providing STI testing and treatment, routine and emergency contraception, referrals for termination of pregnancy, and support for vulnerable patients across a range of settings.

The successful candidate will join our multidisciplinary team within Locala Sexual Health Clinics, working alongside medical, nursing and administrative colleagues to deliver holistic, evidence-based sexual health care.

This role involves direct patient contact and responsibility for assessing patient needs, planning, implementing and evaluating personalised care programmes.
