  • Have you previously been registered with the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC) and are looking to update your skills and knowledge to return to the register? 
  • Are you an overseas trained AHP seeking the opportunity to register with the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC)? 
  • Are you an experienced AHP but have been on a career break and now looking to get back on track? 

We welcome qualified professionals who have previously been registered as well as those from overseas requiring support with clinical hours to gain registration with the Health and Care Professionals Council. We offer a wide range of opportunities in locations across Essex to provide the clinical support required to assist you on your journey.

We have a proven track record supporting therapists to gain registration on the HCPC register and start employment as a confident, competent and skilled healthcare professional.

We support qualified professionals previously registered who are looking to return and overseas trained therapists seeking clinical placements to complete the requirements of the HCPC aligned to their curriculum of study to gain eligibility to register. We offer a encouraging environment and our highly skilled senior therapists will support you with supervised practise and guidance with personal study on your pathway to the register.
