Job summary

We are looking for an enthusiastic and hard working Healthcare Assistant to join our friendly team in the beautiful village of Godstone. The position is part time across Monday-Friday. This will be a combination of shifts depending on clinic room availability.

Main duties of the job

The main responsibilities of this role will be supporting the wider healthcare team with a variety of clinical procedures and administrative support. This includes performing health checks and monitoring patients with long term conditions. The management of incoming pathology/microbiology and screening results e.g. bowel cancer/mammograms/cervical screening would be the responsibility of the successful candidate.

This is a varied role offering training and development opportunities in house and across the wider DHC GP Federation. This role is suited to someone who enjoys working in a fast paced environment where each day brings new challenges and successes.

About us

The contract for the surgery was taken over by DHC in January 2022 and has gone from strength to strength in recent years. The team is growing rapidly with the addition of care coordinators, a clinical pharmacist, a first contact physiotherapist, three clinical lead GPs and an enthusiastic management team. We are a vibrant and friendly team who are devoted to delivering a high standard of healthcare and customer service to our patients.

DHC is working at the centre of the local health system to evolve and deliver integrated care and that requires strong partnerships with many organisations. In all of our services, we aim to put the patient at the centre of their care, make sure our services are easy to access by local patients and reduce waiting times for patients. We are well placed to influence the wider system in making good choices for our population.

Benefits:

  • Competitive salaries and career development
  • A great place to work
  • Potential for flexible working and buying or selling leave
  • EAP
  • NHS Pension scheme and a minimum of 27 days annual leave (plus Bank holidays)
