About the Partnership

Laya Healthcare and WebDoctor have partnered to deliver a pioneering healthcare model across two clinic locations in Dublin. These clinics offer a comprehensive range of services – from general practice and diagnostics to women’s health, dermatology, and specialist assessments – all designed to provide Laya members with exceptional, accessible healthcare.

We are looking for a compassionate, experienced, and motivated Practice Nurse to join our team and play a central role in the day-to-day clinical operations of our new clinic(s).

The Opportunity

Key Responsibilities

LAYA and Webdoctor are dedicated to delivering integrated, patient-centric primary care through our innovative care model. As a Nurse Practitioner across one of our new clinics in Swords, you will be instrumental in bridging the gap between cutting-edge digital health services and high-quality, in-person clinical excellence.
