Job description

About the Role

Dr Bekas Medical Practice has an opportunity for a receptionist to join the team, on a part-time basis of 15 hours per week, on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. This is initially a fixed-term contract for one year.

There is more to our receptionist roles than answering the phone and making appointments. In this essential front-line role at the practice, receptionists help patients to access the right services, assist with keeping health records accurate and up-to-date, and ensure that appointment bookings are well-managed.

The main responsibilities of the role include:
  • Greeting and directing all patients;
  • Making appointments and giving out appointment cards, where required;
  • Accepting, issuing and handing out prescriptions, 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.

About the Candidate

We are looking for a receptionist to join our busy practice team and help make a positive impact on our local community.
Reception experience is required as are good interpersonal and organisational skills. Do you have the following attributes?
  • Excellent communication skills, with a clear and polite telephone manner;
  • Ability 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;
  • Confidence to work as part of a team and ability to "think on your feet";
  • Strong IT and administration skills;
Some flexibility is required, as you will sometimes need to work additional or alternative hours to cover for colleagues.

About Us

Dr Bekas Medical Practice has approximately 2,200 patients, and you would be working alongside a multidisciplinary team to provide the very best care possible to our patients.

For further information please contact Dr Barzan Bekas at [email protected].
