Position Overview: Pertemps Medical is going through an exciting period of growth and change. We are seeking to add to our brilliant team to support our significant multiyear investment and expansion plans – building upon our strong ethos of patient safety, high clinical standards, robust team support, and sector-leading dynamism.

Then a face-to-face medical allows further discussion of the candidate’s history and a thorough head to toe (non-intimate) examination enables the clinician to assess the condition of the candidate. Any conditions found which may have a bearing on their fitness to enter the Royal Navy or Royal Marines are discussed with a senior Naval clinician who takes a decision on the final outcome. This is then communicated to the candidate. Full training is given in this process and reference material is provided to support the clinicians.
