Medical Receptionist

Churchside Medical Practice is a Doctors surgery based in the heart of Mansfield where we have been operating for over 20 years.

We have an established team and have an opportunity for someone seeking a rewarding role to join our surgery as a Medical Receptionist working on a fixed term contract to the end of November 2023, with the hope that this will become a permanent post.

The post requires you to work for 30 hours per week and this may include some 7.30am starts and 6.30pm finishes across the week (not every day, and we can be flexible). Full flexibility is required to fit in with the needs of the surgery.

You must be patient facing and have some customer service experience, with the ability to defuse situations amicably when needed. You should be organised and methodical as well as be able to communicate clearly, especially with patients whose first language may not be English. You should be able to demonstrate strong IT skills, be able to multitask and use your initiative. You must be a team player.

Responsibilities (include but are not limited to):
- Greet and check-in patients in a friendly and professional manner*
- Schedule and confirm patient appointments
- Answer phone calls and respond to inquiries*
- Maintain patient records and update information as needed
- Assist with administrative tasks such as scanning documents*
- Ensure the waiting area is clean and organised

We are considering applicants from a variety of working backgrounds and therefore previous experience as a Medical Receptionist is not essential, however certain aspects of the role* outlined above must be able to be demonstrated.

As a Medical Receptionist you are required to deal with a high volume of incoming calls, scheduling patient appointments, dealing with patient requests and tasks from the Doctors, as well as helping to provide a patient focussed experience and assisting the whole team to ensure the efficient operation of the surgery. Previous experience of SystmOne would be advantageous but not essential as full training will be provided.

We offer a competitive package once trained, free onsite parking, and the chance to work with a great team! As a part of the NHS team you would also be eligible for an NHS Blue Light Card which entitles you to lots of discounts in stores/restaurants/holidays etc. and you can join the great NHS pension scheme.

To apply please forward your CV, and a covering letter outlining why you feel you would be suitable for the role and contacts for 2 references.

The closing date for applications is Tuesday 30th April 2024.

Should you wish to discuss your suitability or details of the role further please send an email to nnicb-nn.c84020@nhs.net with your details and a contact telephone number and we will call you back.
