Experience

Essential

• We are seeking a friendly, professional, reliable and compassionate Medical Receptionist who is committed to providing a high-quality, patient-centered service.

They should be approachable and able to deal with people from a wide range of backgrounds in a respectful and non-judgemental manner.
• The successful candidate should ideally have previous experience in a reception, administrative or customer-facing role. Previous experience of working within a GP practice, NHS or healthcare environment would be desirable but is not essential, as appropriate training can be provided. Experience of dealing with a busy reception, managing telephone enquiries and responding to a range of patient requests would be advantageous.
• Good organizational skills are essential.
• The Medical Receptionist will need to manage competing demands, prioritize tasks effectively and work accurately in a busy environment. They should have excellent attention to detail, particularly when entering patient information, booking appointments, processing messages and handling confidential information. The ability to follow practice procedures while also using initiative to resolve routine issues is important.

Previous experience with GP clinical systems such as SystmOne, and communication systems such as PATCHS or Accurx, would be desirable.

They should demonstrate an understanding of data protection, information governance and professional boundaries, and be able to maintain confidentiality both within and outside the workplace.
• The Medical Receptionist should be able to remain calm, courteous and professional when working under pressure. GP reception can be demanding, particularly during busy periods, and the successful candidate should be able to manage difficult or challenging situations appropriately without compromising patient care or professionalism. They should be able to listen carefully to patients, identify their needs and know when an issue should be escalated to an appropriate member of the clinical or management team.
• Able to work in the team is essential.

Desirable

• The successful candidate will be expected to work collaboratively with GPs, nurses, healthcare professionals, administrative staff and practice management. They should be willing to support colleagues, share information appropriately and contribute positively to the overall functioning of the practice. A flexible approach is important, as duties and priorities may change according to the needs of the practice and its patients.
• Above all, the successful candidate should demonstrate a genuine commitment to providing an excellent patient experience. They should be compassionate, respectful, dependable and willing to go the extra mile to support patients while working within appropriate practice procedures and professional boundaries. They should demonstrate the values of equality, diversity and inclusion and treat every patient and colleague fairly and with dignity.
• The ideal candidate will therefore be a well-organised, conscientious and adaptable individual who can combine excellent customer service with accuracy, confidentiality and professionalism. They should be willing to learn, receptive to feedback and and committed to continuous improvement in their role and in the service provided to patients.
