Main duties of the job

The role is an all-rounded, patient facing and back- office administration role; we are seeking individuals to join our team who are caring, compassionate and confident, who demonstrate effective communication, excellent customer service skills, IT skills, and the ability to support patients with general enquiries and signpost them to the most appropriate team member or service. The postholder will be a key member of the practice team, responsible for completing a variety of tasks including dealing with patient requests i.e. appointment booking, general enquiries in person and over the telephone, as well as performing a number of administrative duties.

The role is not a regular 9am-5pm job and is not a pure reception role; the job requires innovation, flexibility and commitment and the postholder will be required to work resourcefully as part of the team to ensure tasks are completed.

Overview of your organisation

We are one of the largest GP super-partnerships in the UK, serving over 450,000 patients and with a workforce of 1500+. We are unique, we are always looking at ways to improve our delivery of services through the implementation of new and innovative solutions that we can scale across the organisation. Your job is to work directly with key stakeholders to help us to harmonise ways of working and improve working practices to improve patient and staff satisfaction. Most reception roles focus on patient or customer facing responsibilities. This is a role that will also equip you with a portfolio of administration skills associated with the reception back-office function within Primary Care, to make sustainable changes.
