Job description

Job responsibilities

For a full Job Description and Person Specification for this role, please see the documents attached.

This role is open to applicants who are looking for a part-time position. However, due to logistics and resilience within the team, we would need the successful candidate to work at least 25 hours a week. We are flexible with working patterns, and able to accommodate most needs within reason (for example, blood samples need to be returned to Practices before 2:30pm, so a working pattern mainly based in the late afternoon wouldnt be suitable.)

We are hoping for interviews to take place F2F on Tuesday 9th July, but will confirm details once shortlisting has taken place.
