The successful candidate will work in a friendly environment with a proactive team of clinical and non-clinical staff. You should have a kind, efficient and respectful approach and be able to work with a minimum of supervision.

The Bristol & Weston Bowel Cancer Screening Programme is a well-established cancer screening centre serving a population of nearly 1 million people in the Bristol and Weston area.

You will possess excellent organisational, communication and IT skills and be able to provide an optimum level of customer service to patients.

You will be self-motivated and must be able to work on your own initiative as well as in a team environment.
