The ideal candidate will have the following skills and experience:

We are a large practice based over two sites (just one mile apart) which are Valley View Health Centre and Cuffley Village Surgery. 

We have a happy, established team that consists of GPs, nurses, HCAs and paramedics who are all supported by an experienced and organised admin team. We are also joined regularly and supported by colleagues from our primary care network.

The role requires travel between both our sites, Valley View Health Centre, EN7 5ET and Cuffley Village Surgery EN6 4JA so access to transport is beneficial.  Informal enquires welcome.
