The working pattern is a four-day week, with practice opening hours from 8:30am to 6:30pm. Saturday mornings are on a 2:11 rota, shared across local practices, from 9:00am to 1:00pm. There are no out-of-hours or bank holiday commitments.
You can join on a permanent basis or in a 12-month fixed-term contract to cover maternity leave.
