how many hours does an associate specialist work?
<answer> 40 hour in week <context> Will my hours need to be rebased? The existing associate specialist contract is based on a notional 38.5 hour week so it will need to be rebased to a 40 hour week, which will mean an addition of 1.5 hours paid work.he structure and terms of the specialty doctor and new associate specialist contracts have been largely based on the 2003 consultant contract, but there are some variations between them to take into account the differences between the work of specialty doctor and associate specialist grades and consultants. 2.
