We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

Basic salary plus any additional remuneration (as applicable) for hours set out in the doctors work schedule (e.g., additional hours, weekend allowance, and any hours which attract enhanced pay).
