Our Hastings office is seeking an empathetic, experienced Counsellor for a fulfilling opportunity, giving you with the tools you need to support people the way they deserve to be taken care of – the Habit Health way.

Provision of enhanced AI tools aimed at boosting your performance:

Habit is proud to have introduced Heidi notes for all its clinicians to ensure they have access to the best possible tools to help them excel.
