Job responsibilities

The postholder will be required to fulfil reception duties at clinics and are often the first point of contact for patients and their families on the telephone, so an excellent telephone manner and verbal communication skills are important. The ability to communicate well and remain calm at busy school immunisation sessions is essential.

Our patients are our first priority and we strive to offer compassionate care, whilst also working quickly to vaccinate large numbers of children , young people and adults each day.
