Is receptive to ongoing constructive feedback, ensuring our claimants continually get the very best experience.

This role may not be the best match for you if:
You are not comfortable or are unfamiliar with technology.
You dislike writing detailed reports.
You prefer a more hands on approach to clinical care.
You're not looking for a new direction in your clinical career or to embark on period of retraining into a new role.
You don't enjoy working in an environment with targets.
You are not looking for a role that requires you to work on site for 3 days a week.
