Receptionist

Job summary

We are looking for applicants from all walks of life and levels of experience. The ideal candidate will have previous experience of working in a GP Surgery and have EMIS experience, but as full training will be provided, this is not essential.

An opportunity has arisen to join our Practice for a full-time receptionist position. We welcome candidates who are enthusiastic and possess a can-do attitude, and who have the drive and skills to ensure we provide a first-class front-of-house service to our patients.

Main duties of the job

The position is for 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 18:30. The candidates are required to assist in the smooth running of the Reception and Practice and provide administrative support in the provision of Primary Care Services.

You must be a good communicator, have a positive attitude, and be someone who can work independently as well as part of a team, someone who is flexible and able to provide cover at short notice. We are prepared to offer training and development opportunities to the right candidate.
