An unwavering attention to detail needs to be combined with the ability to interact well with colleagues, the medical profession and the public. The role is based within their office in Spinningfields, situated in the heart of Manchester City Centre.

In return, you'll benefit from being part of an organisation that is genuinely committed to its people. Within their friendly environment, you will have access to a range of learning and development opportunities designed to support your ongoing progression.
