The role is an afternoon and morning role and you will work alongside another team member who will be working on the reception desk with you. The hours are quite specific in order to cover the site for all of the hours we are open. If you have worked in general practice or primary care before that would be useful but it is not essential all of the training will be given.

Thursday - 1.15pm - 6.30pm
