This Job Description is not intended to form a part of the contract of employment or to be a complete list of duties and responsibilities, but a guide for information to the job.

This Job Description will be periodically reviewed in the light of developing work requirements. The individual in post will be expected to contribute towards this revision.

Confidentiality


In the course of your duties, you may have access to confidential information about patients, staff or other General Practice business.

On no account must such information be divulged to anyone who is not authorised to receive it.

Confidentiality of information must be preserved at all times whether at or away from work.

Data Protection Act, 1998
Carry out any requirements within the duties applicable to the Data Protection Act.

Health and Safety at Work Act, 1974


Observe all responsibilities and carry out all duties, whether general to all employees or specific to the post, relating to Health and Safety in accordance with the Practice Safety policies and any statutory requirements.


Quality Assurance
Every employee is personally responsible for the quality of the work, which they individually perform.

It is their duty to seek to attain the highest standards achievable both individually and collectively within their knowledge, skills, and resources available to them in the furtherance of the Practice's philosophy of pursuing quality in all its services.


Outside Employment/Outside Interests


If you have other work or outside interest, this must not conflict with your duties and responsibilities or your attendance for work as an employee of the Practice.


It is a condition of employment that you must inform the Practice Manager before taking up post of any private practice, work for outside agencies or other employers, voluntary work, or outside interest you have or propose to have.

This is to ensure there is no question of creating a 'conflict' of interest with your Practice duties.

You must therefore seek the Partners' approval before taking on any such other work or outside interest at any time after entering the Practice's employment.


Working Time Directive
You are required to comply with the regulations governing working time.

Harassment and Bullying


The Practice condemns all forms of harassment and bullying and is actively seeking to promote a workplace where employees are treated with dignity, respect and without bias.


Equal Opportunities
The Practice actively promotes equality of opportunity for all its employees.

Fire Training
Each member of the Practice has a statutory obligation to attend a Fire Lecture each year. It is the responsibility of each member of staff to ensure that they comply with this legal requirement.

No Smoking Policy
The Practice has a no smoking policy.
