Town and Country we have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Director to join our brilliant team in a senior position on a permanent full-time basis.
The Role
This role is a blend of clinical and managerial, working closely with the Practice Manager and Head Nurse to support and mentor whilst undertaking a clinical role with consultations, surgery and shaping the business.
