What is sessional clinical work?

Work paid by the session rather than by salary. You agree a number of sessions a week, each with a defined list size and length.

Can I work sessionally alongside an NHS job?

Yes, and many of our clinicians do. You need to meet your employer's requirements on secondary employment, which is normally a straightforward declaration.

In short

Sessional and associate roles let you choose how much you take on, from one clinic a week upwards. They suit clinicians building a portfolio career, returning to practice, or adding a specialism alongside an existing post.

Sessional, associate and interim roles you can shape around existing commitments.

What to expect from flexible and sessional work

A large share of experienced women's health clinicians now work across two or three services rather than one employer. Sessional contracts make that legitimate rather than something to hide.

Every sessional listing states the rate, the session length and the minimum commitment, so you can work out what a week actually looks like before you apply.
