Job summary
The medical receptionist/call taker [now known as a care navigator] is an integral
part of the wider primary care team. Being the initial contact for patients,
carers, professional colleagues and other guests/visitors to the surgery, they
are the "face" and "voice"of that surgery and project the care and empathy of
services offered.
Having the opportunity
to meet a variety of people and be involved in mixed tasks within the working
day, this can be a challenging role but one of immense satisfaction
.
Main duties of the job
We are looking for a care navigator that wishes to work around 30hours per week, although we are willing to be flexible on that for the right candidate.
Shifts would be worked out between Monday to Friday and between 8am and 6pm.
We are looking to recruit as soon as possible.
About us
We are an independent GP practice with just
short of 6000 patients, over two sites. We are also proud to be a training practice, supporting currently 3 medical students and a 2yr post qualification doctor [ST1].
We hold family values as an integral
part of running the surgeries as well as striving to maintain a good work/life
balance which ultimately increases drive and application during the course of
day to day work.
Our set up comprises two GP partners, Practice Manager, 1 x salaried GP, two long term locums, alongside an ACP, NP, 2 locum Nurses, HCA, Assistant Practice Manager and 7 non-clinical staff, all of whom work between the two sites.
Loyalty and kinship have been enjoyed in
our "team" orientated practice, with colleagues tending to leave due
to retirement or relocation.

at all levels, where everyone's contribution is welcomed.
