Helen Sinclair

Having worked full time at my current organisation for 13 years, I am now looking to reduce my working hours, and responsibilities which go with my current position, in order to spend time with my grandchild. My skillset is extremely adaptable; I have particular knowledge around the areas of administration and staff management. I am used to communicating with people at all levels, from CQC inspectors to vulnerable patients.

I resigned from The windmill Practice in July 2025 due to serious family illness, which has now thankfully resolved. I would now very much like to get back to work part time within a medical environment.
