Duties mainly include answering busy telephone lines, arranging patient appointments and follow ups, managing repeat prescriptions, electronic document filings, and general office/administration tasks.

As first point of contact for the Practice you must possess excellent communication skills and enjoy working with the public. A pleasant manner and proven customer service experience are essential.

Previous experience of working in Primary Care is preferred but not essential as training will be given.
