At DHU Healthcare, every role matters. Because every moment gives us the chance to make the difference - for patients, colleagues and communities. Wherever you join us, your compassion, commitment and skills will not only make all the difference in the moment today but also shape the care we deliver tomorrow.

  • Practice operations: Support the smooth day-to-day running of both surgeries, including opening/closing, maintaining tidy reception and waiting areas, managing post and handling patient payments.
  • Teamwork and flexibility: Work collaboratively with the wider practice team, attend training and meetings, and provide flexible cover for planned and unplanned staff absences.
  • Professional standards and mobility: Follow all practice, health and safety and confidentiality procedures, maintain a professional appearance, and travel between Eyam and Bradwell Surgery as required.
