While the practice itself may need some TLC in certain areas as it's one of our originals, your incredible team more then make up for it...there is a lot to be said about having a strong and supportive team dynamic!

You will not be bored at Tottenham with its busy caseload and large client base, and the practice has a great reputation within the group of having an amazing team dynamic and rallying together on those more challenging days, but don’t take my word for it:

"They have been an absolute delight to work with. You have got a good team there! I will be sad to say goodbye on my last day"

This position is part-time over 3 days (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) averaging 26.13 hours per week and includes a 1:3 Saturday morning and 1:10 Sunday rotation at Wanstead Hospital, plus 1 bank holiday per year. There are NO on-call requirements for this position.
