Reporting to the Chief Medical Officer.

Build a clinical service from day one

Affidea UK is in a period of exceptional growth. Since Fortius Clinic, the UK’s largest orthopaedic group, joined Affidea in 2021, we have gone from strength to strength. In July 2026 we announced a strategic partnership with LIPS Healthcare, the UK’s largest private consultant-led multi-specialty group, and in October we agreed to acquire two specialist diagnostic centres from Alliance Medical, on Harley Street and in Marylebone. This autumn, we will open our first ambulatory clinic in Southwest London, a major milestone in our mission to bring world-class, accessible healthcare to communities across the UK. Joining us now means being part of this journey from the ground up, with real opportunities to grow as we do.

Our 33,000 sq ft clinic in the Wimbledon Quarter Shopping Centre brings advanced diagnostics, outpatient services and theatres under one roof. It includes a Private GP, an Express Care minor injuries unit, consultant and treatment rooms, advanced diagnostic imaging (3T MRI, 1.5T MRI, CT, X-Ray and DEXA), surgical theatres and inpatient ward facilities.

You’ll lead every nursing and clinical support department: theatre, recovery, endoscopy, Express Care, treatment rooms, health assessments and practice nursing for our Private GP service.
