Cheshire | In-person | Training & Mentorship Provided
Feeling constrained by the NHS?
Do you want more time with patients, better outcomes and the freedom to practise true root-cause medicine - without having to figure it all out alone?
I’m Dr Jess, a former NHS doctor who left conventional medicine to build a thriving private functional and integrative medicine clinic in Poynton, Cheshire. Due to growing demand, we’re now looking for 1-2 motivated, exceptional doctors to join our expanding team.
Why Poynton & Cheshire?
Our clinic is based in the vibrant town of Poynton, with a loyal, health-engaged patient population. We serve patients from across affluent Cheshire and Manchester, including Alderley Edge, Wilmslow, Prestbury, Bramhall and surrounding villages and towns.
This area offers:
- Patients who value preventative, personalised care
- A strong private-pay demographic
- A beautiful setting on the edge of the Peak District
- Excellent transport links while retaining a community feel
Patients here are motivated, invested in their health, and committed, which makes this work deeply rewarding.
Our Medicine
We practise personalised, root-cause functional medicine, wellness and natural health specialising in:
- Perimenopause & hormonal health
- Autoimmune disease
- Gut disorders (IBS, eczema, inflammatory conditions)
- Mental health, burnout & fatigue
- Cancer recovery support & complex chronic illness
- Biohacking, longevity, nutrition & wellness
We take the time to understand the full picture, support sustainable change and are often privileged to witness profound patient transformations.
The Role
- In-person clinic work: 2 days per week (with scope to grow)
- Work alongside experienced functional medicine doctors & health coaches
- Full reception, operational & marketing systems in place
- Consistent patient flow, no need to build a practice from scratch
- On-the-job training and mentorship provided
No previous qualifications in functional or integrative medicine are required. However, a genuine passion for lifestyle, functional, natural or integrative medicine - and evidence of self-directed learning or a strong desire to develop in these areas - would be highly valued.
Mentorship & Training (A Rare Opportunity)
You will receive close mentorship directly from me (the most qualified integrative and functional medicine doctor in the UK and having treated thousands of patients) throughout your development.
Over the past 20 years, I have built extensive expertise in:
- Advanced functional and integrative medicine frameworks
- Advanced herbal medicine knowledge
- Women’s health, hormones & perimenopause expertise
- Metabolic and cancer support expertise
- Complex chronic illness, longevity and biohacking knowledge
- Building a successful and sustainable private practice after leaving the NHS
This role is ideal if you want to learn properly, practise safely and develop genuine expertise in functional and integrative medicine with structure, support and clinical depth, rather than expensive courses with no real-world application.
Earning Potential
This is a package-based private model with a proven track record of growth.
- Most doctors reach £6-9k per month once established
- Clear scope to earn significantly more as your patient base grows
- Transparent systems and pricing already in place
This Role Suits Doctors Who:
- Feel there is more to medicine than prescribing
- Want to work on root causes, not symptom suppression
- Are passionate about wellness, functional medicine, natural health, longevity or biohacking
- Are curious, reflective and ready to practise medicine differently
