There are lots of opportunities for Allied Health Professionals in NI and the UK. Xander Hendrix have a long history of sourcing candidates for these type of roles.
Registration:
The Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) is the body that regulates most allied health professionals (AHP’s) in the UK. The exception are Osteopaths who need to register with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).
The HCPC and GOsC set standards of professional training, performance and conduct and hold a register of health professionals who meet the registration standards.
Each of the regulated professions has a “protected title” and anyone who uses one of these titles must be registered with the HCPC or GOsC. Each application submitted to the HCPC and GOsC is looked at on an individual basis by registration assessors. All applicants will be required to meet the standards of the HCPC or GOsC and must provide both character and health references and in certain circumstances applicants may be asked to provide clinical references.
