Careers at Canvera Clinic — who we are, who we're looking for, and how we hire

Canvera Ltd | Version 1.0 | Effective 01.06.2026 | Last reviewed N/A

Note for review: This is a working draft prepared as a starting point. It must be reviewed by a UK-qualified healthcare and data-protection solicitor before publication. Fields in [square brackets] are placeholders to be completed. References to CQC registration reflect application-pending status; update wording once registration certificate is issued.

1. Who we are

Canvera Clinic is a specialist online clinic for patients in the UK whose conditions have not responded to conventional treatment. We provide evidence-based consultations with UK specialist consultants and, where clinically appropriate, prescribe unlicensed cannabis-based products for medicinal use (CBPMs).

We are part of a European group of companies headquartered in Germany. Our sister businesses in the UK include Canvera Pharmacy, our GPhC-registered dispensing pharmacy, and [CANVERA WHOLESALE TRADING NAME], our MHRA-licensed import and wholesale business. Together we cover the full patient journey — from specialist consultation to prescription fulfilment — while keeping each regulated activity in its own properly regulated entity.

We're building a clinic that patients, clinicians and regulators can trust. That starts with the people we hire.

2. What we look for

We hire across clinical, pharmacy, technology, operations, patient support, governance and commercial roles. Regardless of role, we look for people who:

• put patients first and behave with integrity;
• take responsibility and do what they said they would;
• are curious, evidence-led and honest about uncertainty;
• treat colleagues and patients with respect;
• want to work in a regulated environment and understand why the rules matter.

For clinical and pharmacy roles, we require relevant UK professional registration in good standing — GMC Specialist Register for consultants, GMC for other doctors, NMC for nurses, GPhC for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians — together with current indemnity, appropriate specialist training, and evidence of ongoing professional development.

3. Current opportunities

Live vacancies are listed on our careers page at canveraclinic.com/careers. If you don't see a role that fits but you think you could contribute, we'd still like to hear from you — email Jobs@canveraclinic.com with a short note and your CV.

4. Equal opportunities

Canvera Clinic is an equal opportunities employer. We are committed to building a team that reflects the diversity of the patients and communities we serve.

We welcome applications regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation — all of which are protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010 — and regardless of socioeconomic background, caring responsibilities or neurodivergence.

We will make reasonable adjustments at every stage of recruitment for candidates with a disability or long-term health condition. Please let us know what you need when you apply.

5. How we handle your information

When you apply for a role with us, we collect and process your personal information to run a fair and lawful recruitment process. We act as data controller for that information.

5.1 What we collect

• Your CV, cover letter, application form and any supporting documents you provide.
• Information about your identity, right to work, professional registration, and qualifications.
• Information from referees, where you have authorised us to contact them.
• Information from background checks (see section 8 below).
• Notes from interviews, assessments and reference conversations.
• Equal-opportunities monitoring information, provided voluntarily and analysed only in anonymised, aggregated form.

5.2 Lawful bases

We rely on Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR (steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract), Article 6(1)(c) (legal obligation, for right-to-work and safer-recruitment checks), and Article 6(1)(f) (our legitimate interest in running a fair recruitment process).

Where we process special category data — for example, health information relevant to reasonable adjustments, or professional regulatory information — we rely on Article 9(2)(b) (obligations in the field of employment) or 9(2)(h) (occupational medicine and assessing working capacity), supported by the conditions in Schedule 1 of the Data Protection Act 2018.

5.3 Retention

• If your application is unsuccessful, we keep your information for up to 12 months after the recruitment decision, unless you ask us to delete it sooner. We may keep it longer with your consent so we can contact you about future roles.
• If your application is successful, your information becomes part of your employee record and is retained in line with our staff records retention schedule (typically for the duration of employment plus 6 years, longer for some categories).

5.4 Your rights

You have the same rights as any other data subject under UK GDPR, including the right of access, rectification, erasure (subject to legal obligations), restriction, portability, and objection. To exercise these rights, or to ask a question, contact our Data Protection Officer: bk@canveraclinic.com.

6. Right to work in the UK

All appointments are conditional on your right to work in the UK. You will be asked to provide evidence of your right to work, which we will verify in line with Home Office guidance. Where a role is eligible for sponsorship under a licensed route, we will tell you — but we cannot guarantee that sponsorship will be available for every role.

7. Professional registration and fitness to practise

For regulated professional roles:

• You must be registered with the relevant UK regulator and on the appropriate register (e.g. GMC Specialist Register, GPhC register) at the point of appointment and throughout your employment.
• You must disclose any current, past or pending fitness to practise investigations, restrictions, undertakings or conditions. We will consider the circumstances fairly and not automatically exclude candidates; but non-disclosure is likely to be a bar to employment.
• You must hold appropriate professional indemnity cover, either individually or through an arrangement with us.
• You must agree to appraisal, revalidation and continuing professional development expectations for your profession.

8. Background checks

Healthcare is a safeguarding environment. Depending on the role, we will carry out some or all of the following checks before you start:

• Identity verification.
• Right-to-work check.
• Professional registration check.
• Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, at the level appropriate for the role (standard or enhanced).
• References from at least two previous employers covering the last three years, including your most recent employer.
• Qualification verification.
• Occupational health assessment where relevant.
• For clinical roles involving controlled drugs, additional checks consistent with Home Office and Misuse of Drugs Regulations requirements.

We follow the principles of safer recruitment in healthcare and comply with the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and relevant exceptions.

9. Interview process

Our standard process is:

1. Application review.
2. Initial conversation with the hiring manager or recruiter.
3. Role-specific assessment — this might be a structured interview panel, a clinical scenario, a portfolio review, a written exercise, or a short practical task.
4. Final interview, often with at least one person you would not work with day-to-day, to ensure balanced input.
5. Offer, subject to pre-employment checks.

We provide feedback on request to candidates we have interviewed.

10. Our commitments to you

• A transparent process with clear timelines.
• Fair, structured interviews designed to reduce bias.
• Reasonable adjustments on request.
• Honest communication about compensation, working arrangements, and the reality of the role.
• A timely outcome — we aim to let every applicant know where they stand within 3 weeks of applying.

11. How to apply

Apply through our careers page at canveraclinic.com/careers, or email Jobs@canveraclinic.com with your CV and a short note about why the role interests you. Please do not send unsolicited clinical records or patient information with your application.

Agencies: we work with a small number of preferred recruitment partners. We do not accept speculative CVs from other agencies; unsolicited submissions will not be considered introductions.
