Why this role exists
Contraception counselling is where a lot of women's later health is decided, and it is routinely done in eight minutes. Women change method, stop entirely, or carry side effects for years because nobody had time to talk it through.
Who you would be looking after
Women aged 16 to 55 seeking contraception, method changes, coil and implant fitting or removal, sexual health screening, and support with bleeding or pain on hormonal contraception.

What this pays, and why
NHS Band 6 runs £38,682 to £46,580 in 2026 and our band matches it deliberately, because we are recruiting from the NHS rather than trying to outbid it. The difference is appointment length and no lone-working evening clinics.
