Please also include a brief, down-to-earth cover email that tells us a bit about yourself. We’d especially like to hear from individuals seeking a steady and reliable role rather than a fast-paced career path. We’re a small, friendly practice, so we’re looking for someone who values stability, consistency and doing good-quality work over rushing or chasing promotions. If you enjoy a calm, dependable job where you can get stuck in and support clients without pressure or politics, we’d love to hear about that.
