Formed in 2019 from the merger of Market Place and The Butchery Surgeries, we are proud to be part of the Deal & Sandwich Primary Care Network, working closely with neighbouring practices to support our local community. Rated Good by the Care Quality Commission, we offer a wide range of services and are also a training practice, supporting GP trainees, medical and nursing students. We are committed to providing compassionate, patient-centred care and are always looking for new ways to improve how we work. In September 2025, we introduced a new Modern General Practice approach, using a total triage appointment system to make accessing our services easier, safer and more efficient for patients. We have a dedicated, friendly team who support one another and take pride in delivering the best possible care to our community.

Job description
Job responsibilities
The Primary Care Co-ordinator will play a vital role in delivering an excellent first impression of the practice, acting as the primary point of contact for patients, carers, and visitors. The post holder will provide a welcoming, professional, and efficient service by managing face-to-face and telephone enquiries, directing individuals to the appropriate services, and ensuring urgent needs are prioritised. Key responsibilities include booking, amending, and cancelling appointments to optimise clinical time, assisting patients with completing forms and updating personal details, and processing repeat prescription requests in line with practice protocols. A core aspect of the role is supporting vulnerable patients, including those with disabilities, language barriers, or additional needs, ensuring equitable access to care. The post holder will maintain the highest standards of patient confidentiality at all times, in line with GDPR and practice policies, while treating all patients and colleagues with dignity, respect, and compassion.
In addition to patient-facing duties, the role encompasses a range of administrative tasks, including maintaining and updating accurate patient records using the clinical system, managing incoming documentation, preparing reports and audits, and supporting data entry, scanning, and filing requirements. The post holder will also ensure the reception and waiting areas remain clean, safe, and welcoming, contributing to a positive patient experience. Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing priorities will be essential.
Collaboration and teamwork are fundamental to the role. The post holder will work closely with GPs, nurses, and other practice staff to maintain smooth patient flow, escalate complex or urgent issues appropriately, and provide cover during periods of staff absence. They will actively contribute to practice-wide initiatives, such as flu clinics, health promotion campaigns, and patient engagement activities, while also supporting clinicians with administrative needs. Attendance and participation in practice meetings, training sessions, and appraisals are expected, with the post holder contributing ideas for continuous service improvement.
This position requires a compassionate, adaptable, and proactive individual who can thrive in a busy, patient-focused environment. The successful candidate will uphold the practices policies on confidentiality, safeguarding, and health and safety, while demonstrating professionalism and empathy in every interaction. By combining excellent communication skills with strong administrative capabilities, the post holder will support the smooth running of the reception and wider practice, helping to deliver high-quality care and an outstanding patient experience.
