Day Surgery Receptionist

1 week ago


Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom 279 University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Provide comprehensive and effective administrative support to the Day Surgery Department; troubleshooting and problem solving as required; provide admin support to the ophthalmic theatres to help ensure an efficient implementation of patient pathways and post-operative appointment arrangement; participate in other administrative activities within the department as appropriate such as stock takes, and data correction; the post requires a self-motivated individual able to work as part of a team.


Your main duties include, but aren't limited to, being the first port of call for all patients who come to the unit for a procedure.

This will involve checking them in, making sure they are comfortable, and answering any questions they may have regarding their visit.

You will be tasked with maintaining the front of house area, creating a welcoming environment, while also dealing with any issues that arrive on your desk from different areas of the unit.

These will include, but not be limited to, booking follow-on eye appointments for patients, receiving patient notes, building patient packs for the ophthalmic theatre, and general staff queries.

The role is fluid and will likely not be the same from one day to the next.

You will become a part of a 3 person team in a warm and welcoming environment.

You will have tasks to complete as part of a team, but there will be other tasks to complete independently of others.

We are a patient facing area so there is a need for cleanliness and professionalism, but we also encourage people to be themselves.
