Job description

Hours vary week to week depending on patient bookings. The practice is open Monday to Saturday (Saturdays 8am to 1pm), and we need you to be available across those days. If you'd rather have flexible work than a fixed roster, this could suit you well. We're aiming for a start in early November.

• Strong attention to detail and reliability
• Willingness to keep infection control and first aid qualifications current
