The postholder will be a key member of the practice team, responsible for completing a variety of tasks including dealing with patient requests i.e. appointment booking, general enquiries in person and over the telephone, as well as performing a number of administrative duties.

The role is not a regular 9am-5pm job and is not a pure reception role; the job requires innovation, flexibility and commitment and the postholder will be required to work resourcefully as part of the team to ensure tasks are completed.

We are one of the largest GP super-partnerships in the UK, serving over 450,000 patients and with a workforce of 1500+. We are unique, we are always looking at ways to improve our delivery of services through the implementation of new and innovative solutions that we can scale across the organisation. Your job is to work directly with key stakeholders to help us to harmonise ways of working and improve working practices to improve patient and staff satisfaction. Most reception roles focus on patient or customer facing responsibilities. This is a role that will also equip you with a portfolio of administration skills associated with the reception back-office function within Primary Care, to make sustainable changes.

You will love this job if you have a passion for helping and interacting with patients to provide and process information in response to enquiries. You will also be able to enhance your computer skills by using MS Word, Outlook, Excel and other relevant software packages.

You will not enjoy this job if you are looking for a repetitive working schedule and are comfortable with more traditional ways of working.
