About the Role:

  • Advising patients of practice procedures;
  • Registering new patients;
  • Answering the telephone, promptly;
  • Booking and managing waiting lists for specialist clinics e.g. family planning, joint injections etc;
  • Giving our test results to patients.

  • Excellent communication skills, with a clear and polite telephone manner;
  • Ability to work in a polite, confidential and discreet manner, respecting patients at all times;
  • Experience of working with the general public, being sensitive and empathic in distressing situations;
  • Confidence to work as part of a team and ability to "think on your feet";
  • Strong IT and administration skills;
  • Previous medical or healthcare receptionist experience is desirable.
Some flexibility is required, as you will sometimes need to work additional or alternative hours to cover for colleagues.
