Job description

Clinic Receptionist

Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds


Who are we?

Newmedica are one of the leading providers of NHS ophthalmology services in England, providing outpatients appointments, diagnostic testing and eye surgery. We aim to change lives through better sight and eye health.

We care for more than 225,000 NHS and private patients a year in over 26 locations and we’re growing.


Role overview

We are looking for a new Receptionist to join our Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds sites. This will be 40 hours over 5 days per week including weekends, on a rota basis.

Our Receptionists are usually the first person our patients will see when they visit a clinic so a friendly, approachable and welcoming personality is a must!

The Receptionist will welcome all patients and check them in for their clinic or theatre visits. You will be working on the patient record system alongside other systems so should be comfortable using a variety of technology solutions.

You’ll also undertake a variety of administrative duties such as booking patients into their appointments, making and answering phone calls, sending and replying to emails, managing the post and sending letters and dealing with enquiries. As such you’ll require a high attention to detail and excellent accuracy levels. Our clinics are busy so we’re looking for someone who loves working in a fast-paced environment where every day is different.

The thought of eye surgery can be a daunting prospect for patients to deal with, so our team members need to be empathetic and able to put patients at ease.

What skills and experience do I need?

We’ll provide training so experience isn’t always needed, but the following things will be advantageous:

  • Experience of working under own initiative
  • Previous experience in a customer or patient facing role
  • Experience in a busy administrative role
  • A competent user of all Office 365 programmes
  • Tech savvy and comfortable working on new systems e.g. patient record systems
  • A good phone manner
  • An excellent grasp of the English language both verbally and in written format
  • A good team player – happy to jump in and support others when required

What we’re offering

  • A salary of £22,700.00
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • A company pension scheme
  • Access to a range of benefits including free eye tests, discounted or free glasses, a free 24/7 well-being/counselling/advice service and a retail/technology discount scheme.
  • An environment where your learning and development is supported through a range of various learning tools and courses.
  • Working with a friendly multi-disciplinary team passionate about improving the lives of our patients
  • A bright, spacious and modern working environment, built to the highest standards
