There is one clear theme thread throughout this advert: the associate. Take the values and benefits of working at your clinic and make the advert about them.

The importance of clinic culture

Although tempting to be perfect, be real

A significant part of learning how to write an osteopathy job post is understanding your clinic culture.

The ideal associate will suit your clinic culture. In-fact, 73% of professionals leave jobs due to a mismatch of company culture. This means they share the same values and align with your vision, so it’s essential to interlace this throughout your advert and reiterated during the interview process.

So, start thinking about what you want your clinic culture to feel like so you can get off on the right foot to avoid disappointing interviews.
