We are looking for a full-time Medical Receptionist to join our large, friendly surgery in Manchester. This is an excellent opportunity to work in an interesting and diverse healthcare environment.
The Reception Team provides our telephone and reception counter service. The work is varied and interesting and includes welcoming patients and visitors, understanding and interpreting patients’ needs, resolving queries where possible or signposting patients to the appropriate service or appointment, booking appointments and processing repeat prescriptions.
You will be well-motivated and friendly with good people skills and enjoy working in a busy environment. You will have previous experience of either working with the public or administration. You will be able to communicate clearly and effectively, showing understanding, care and assertiveness when appropriate. You will have good administrative and organisational skills and experience of using computers. You will be friendly and approachable and have the ability to work well within a team.
Our patients depend on us so you need to be reliable in attendance and punctuality and have an accurate and thorough approach to work. You will need to be committed to give a good service to our diverse population.
You don’t need to have worked in healthcare before as long as you possess the above qualities and are willing and eager to learn new skills and are flexible in your approach to work. We will provide in-house training and support.
