About the Opportunity

A Central London-based primary care service is seeking an experienced ARTP-accredited Spirometry Technician to support its respiratory testing provision on a flexible, ad-hoc basis.

This is a bank/locum-style opportunity, ideal for clinicians looking to supplement existing work with occasional, structured clinic sessions.

Following service review and patient feedback, the clinic model has been redesigned to allow longer appointment times and a more measured clinical pace, improving both patient experience and testing quality.

Sessions are scheduled in advance wherever possible, with occasional short-notice cover required for annual leave or sickness.
