Current jobs
La Belle Forme is currently looking for a new Cosmetic Practitioner to join the staff.

JOB DESCRIPTION – COSMETIC PRACTITIONER
La Belle Forme is recruiting. We are seeking an advanced beauty therapist, cosmetic nurse, doctor or dentist for our staff of cosmetic practitioners.

ABOUT LA BELLE FORME
La Belle Forme is a cosmetic surgery clinic owned and run by a consultant plastic surgeon. La Belle Forme was set up, and is run by Mr Taimur Shoaib, a consultant plastic surgeon, in mid 2009 for Mr Shoaib’s expanding private practice in cosmetic surgery. La Belle Forme continues to grow well despite economic adversity and our main services are in cosmetic surgery, injectables, cosmetic dentistry, laser treatments, and beauty therapy. We also run courses and training events for medical, dental and nursing personnel.

Our practitioners include two plastic surgeons, four cosmetic nurses, two beauty therapists, one dentist and one dermatologist. Not all staff are employed at La Belle Forme and not all are full-time, and some staff work as self-employed contractors.

La Belle Forme now needs to expand its employed personnel, and we are looking to employ a cosmetic practitioner. You will be a nurse, doctor or dentists with an interest, experience, knowledge and background in cosmetic clinic treatments. You need to be a lively, happy, enthusiastic front line staff member who is happy to ensure customers receive a high quality service all the way through from an initial enquiry through to their aftercare. You can help deliver excellent customer care in the following areas of clinical practice: cosmetic injectables, LASER and IPL treatments, radio frequency treatment, skin care product sales and advice, skin peels and masks.

Your exact duties will depend on your skills, but ideally you will be a prescribing practitioner with extensive experience knowledge and qualifications in LASER treatments, cosmetic injectables, PRP treatment, radio frequency devices and skin care products. Salary will be dependent on these desired skills and is negotiable depending on previous experience and fulfilment of the desired skills. Our current cosmetic practitioners are nurses and advanced beauty therapists with different roles and some overlap of procedures.

Team working and loyalty are essential parts of our clinic philosophy. We have several practitioners that do not provide the full range of the above treatments and so, we all work together as a team. Since we have a strong team philosophy at La Belle Forme, we expect practitioners that cannot perform a particular treatment to still recommend treatments to patients based on the best interests of the patient. Many of our patients see a number of different practitioners throughout their patient journey for a particular concern that they have. We understand that practitioners may have outside professional interests from La Belle Forme, but we expect absolute loyalty to La Belle Forme while you work with us.

You will be responsible to the general manager with whom you will work very closely to ensure delivery of your required tasks. Ultimately, you will be responsible to the Directors. Depending on your qualifications and experience, it may be in the organisation’s best interests for you to be employed by Taimur Shoaib, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, or by La Belle Forme Ltd.

If you are interested in applying for such a position please hand in an up to date Curriculum Vitae and covering letter outlining your skills, previous work history, qualifications, achievements to date and demonstrate that you are able to deliver the main tasks required and have the education and experience we desire.
