Medical Receptionist

Job summary

We have various hours available for receptionists across our sites and invite candidates to join our existing team. The ideal candidates should be friendly and approachable, have excellent customer service skills, be computer literate, have an excellent telephone manner and be a flexible team player. Given that we are still working within a pandemic and the challenges health care providers are constantly facing, it is essential for candidates to be resilient, we also find a good sense of humour really helps!

This is a very busy environment to work in with a constant demand for appointments, but you will be working with a great team of people who will support you along the way.

Knowledge of Systmone booking system or experience of working within a GP surgery would be an advantage but not essential as full training will be given.

We offer 6 weeks annual leave plus bank holidays and automatic enrolment into the NEST pension scheme.  We have attendance and long service awards and hold socials throughout the year as a thank you to our hardworking staff.

Main duties of the job

Main duties include; greeting patients to the practice, booking appointments, registering new patients to the practice, processing and distributing prescriptions, answering incoming calls and dealing with patients queries and supporting the GP's and Clinicians with administration tasks.
