Working for our organisation
The Head and Neck Department consists of Ear, Nose and Throat, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Orthodontics, Restorative Dentistry and Plastic Surgery.
The Head and Neck service is very busy and the secretarial team is key to ensure things run smoothly and efficiently.
It is therefore imperative that each member of the team works well under pressure and as a team player but equally as important that they are able to work independently and priorities workload effectively.
One of the main rewards of this role is knowing you have made a difference and enhanced a patient's experience within the department.
