Brook has been well known as the established provider of specialist sexual health services for Cornwall’s young people, for over 25 years.

Brook is committed to providing a truly modern and innovative service providing access to our contraception and GU service to all residents of Cornwall, regardless of age.
We continue to extend our clinical provision to reach smaller communities, and, with our partner organisation SH:24, have transformed our digital offer to provide a pioneering range of online services that complement our face-to-face clinical provision and support.
These are exciting times for sexual health and as we continue to grow, we are looking for enthusiastic Healthcare Assistants to join our professional and welcoming team.
