New Health Centre Jobs?

Where would I enquire about jobs(non Medical kind)in the New Health Centre currently being constructed on Paradise Street?

Margaret Pilkington · 26-01-2007, 21:12

I'm sure that the online Jobcentre will have any vacancies posted as soon as the building is nearly ready.

Thanks Margaret. I was just wondering if there had already been a recruitment drive by the Primary Care Trust,as there seem to have been a couple of meetings concerning the buildings future tenants.

Well i was talking with our doctor (Dr Dixon)at Myrtle house and he said they will not be moving in .
He said there will be no parking space for patiants,one big reception area they wanted an area for each practice and the rooms will be smaller than the ones they have now

Thanks for the response,the building itself looks massive;I understand that Doctors,Dental practices have been canvessed but nothing seems to have been finalised.
I was thinking more along the lines of building maintenance/support staff,not being overally qualified!

my doctors is going there!, it will probably be chaotic!

I have a feeling that even if doctors go in initially independantly that it won't be long bfore there'll be no such thing as having your own doctor and you'll just have to see whoever is available even if you've never seen them in your life before.

panther · 29-01-2007, 12:36

I prefer to see my own doctor, but as willow says you are lucky to see them and end up with someone totally different, which i dont like, so I prefer to wait until my doctor is available

because my doctors is going to paradise street, peel house that is, and the other doctors which do not work in peel house will be at blackburn rd

The Blackburn Road centre will provide some hospital and specialist services such as a minor operations theatre.

At the Paradise Street centre Doctors from Accrington’s largest medical centre, Peel House, will move to take advantage of the 12 consulting rooms alongside examination and nurse treatment rooms.

I thought the blackburn road practice was for west Accrington,

I was talking to a reletive who is a doctor and he said that there are lots of asian practices in normal terrace houses and they will be forced to move or else...

Can remember when Haslingden was built. My docs moved in there and everybody else. Now theres a couple moved out into their own surgery along the road.
