• You bring experience in providing high-level customer service within multidisciplinary teams, alongside proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, patient information systems, and data entry.

• You have strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage workflows efficiently, prioritise tasks, and respond flexibly to the needs of a broad range of clients.
