Reflections from a previous Band 7:
“CNRS is one of the nicest and supportive teams I have ever worked with. The variety of opportunities through this service and the breadth of the work has enabled me to learn and grow so much as a practitioner. The MDT works really well together and there is scope for joint working across the team. I could not have asked for a better post at the start of my career.”
