Vacancy – Club Doctor
We are seeking to appoint a qualified doctor with relevant sporting/football qualifications to join Clyde Football Club as the Club Doctor.
The role requires match day attendance for all first team home matches and one training night per week to liaise with the management and medical team – in all cases at New Douglas Park in Hamilton.
The Club Doctor is additionally required to be on hand to offer medical advice, expertise and support as required by other club medical staff. This would be on a flexible ad hoc basis to minimise any impact on your existing commitments.
