This position represents a fresh approach to private practice. There are no targets for personal fees, billing obligations, debt collection, business development, or article writing. Instead, you have autonomy to select the type of work you wish to undertake and are compensated accordingly.

The role

The contract is permanent, ensuring stability in basic pay and benefits, with scope to increase income based on your chosen work types. Full IT equipment and ongoing technical support are provided for your home office.

You will become an integral part of the team, invited to all social events, and benefit from comprehensive professional development and training opportunities.
