If you’re a confident communicator, passionate about patient care, and thrive in a fast‑paced environment, we’d love to hear from you.

• Ensure smooth operation of the office and effective management of the consultants’ workload.
• Work independently, using initiative to handle enquiries and communicate confidently with people at all levels.
• Consistently uphold a high standard of service to support the needs of every patient.
