We currently have a vacancy for a part time secretary for approximately 15 hours per week. The hours will be Monday and Tuesday 9am - 5pm.,

  • To provide an efficient audio (rarely used now)/copy typing and word processing service for GPs and health professionals as required. This includes the typing of letters, reports, patient referrals, etc. in an accurate and quality manner.
