Our services are delivered through a variety of models including Managed Services and Ophthalmology Joint Venture (OJV) Partnerships.

**Role Summary**

We are looking for a new Senior Patient Administrator to join our Oxfordshire site. As you’d guess from the title this role involves carrying out different administrative duties and it’s a varied role. Our clinics are busy so we’re looking for someone who loves working in a fast-paced environment where every day is different.

- Support the Patient Administrative team in ensuring that all month end clean up procedures have been completed
- Ensure the efficient operations and administrative function of Newmedica Oxfordshire
- Balance clinic workload and patient flow
- Effectively manage the transfer of patients
- To be responsible for training other team members to a high standard
- Support the senior management team in implementation of new service delivery initiatives
- Assist with the Private Patient Admin tasks
- Assist with monitoring and ensuring that communication response rate targets are achieved
- Support any operational and clinical audit activities
- Provide general administration and support to the Clinical Assistant’s in the running of the service.
- Provide weekly updates on clinic/theatre scheduling, utilisation and any clinical gaps.

**What skills and experience do I need?
We need someone who is incredibly customer focussed and enjoys meeting and talking to people - the thought of eye surgery can be a daunting prospect for patients to deal with, so all our team members need to be empathetic and friendly and able to put patients at ease.

**We’ll provide training so experience isn’t always needed, but the following things will be advantageous**:

- Previous experience in a medical or patient facing role
- Previous experience in a managerial role (desirable)
- Experience in a busy administrative role
- Ability to concentrate on various tasks and prioritise where appropriate

- An excellent grasp of the English language both verbally and in written format
- A good team player - happy to jump in and support others when required
- Excellent organisation skills and the ability to multi-task
- Outstanding telephone manner
- Committed to delivery of consistently high standards of administration

**What we’re offering**
- A salary of £26,000 - £28,000 per annum dependant on experience
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (Pro Rata)
- A company pension scheme
- Access to a range of benefits including free eye tests, discounted or free glasses and a free 24/7 well-being/counselling/advice service
