  • Making appointments and giving out appointment cards, where required;
  • Managing documents;
  • Supporting the running of the general practice;
  • Accepting, issuing and handing out, letters, completed forms, specimen bottles, etc.;
  • Dealing with requests for information, and managing problems and complaints;
  • Advising patients of practice procedures;
  • Registering new patients;
  • Answering the telephone, promptly.

We would welcome applications from organised, adaptable, and friendly individuals, who are keen to help us provide high levels of customer service and have the following attributes:
 
  • Previous medical or healthcare receptionist experience is desirable
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Attributes to make a positive impact on our local community
  • Able to work in a polite, confidential and discreet manner, respecting patients at all times
  • Experience of working with the general public, being sensitive and empathic in distressing situations
  • Confident to work as part of a team and be able to think on your feet, independently
