If successful, you will be required to attend a 2 day online computer training course in order to be able to access the Bowel Cancer Screening Database.

You will possess excellent organisational, communication and IT skills and be able to provide an optimum level of customer service to patients.

You will be self-motivated and must be able to work on your own initiative as well as in a team environment.
