Full Job Description

We are looking for a new Patient Administrator to join our Lincolnshire sites. This will be 40 hours over 7 days per
week including weekends on a rota basis.

As you'd guess from the title this role involves carrying out different administrative duties and it's a
varied role - you could be booking patients into their appointments, making and answering phone
calls, sending and replying to emails, managing the post and sending letters or dealing with
enquiries. Our clinics are busy so we're looking for someone who loves working in a fast-paced
environment where every day is different.

We need someone who is incredibly customer focussed and enjoys meeting and talking to people -
the thought of eye surgery can be a daunting prospect for patients to deal with, so all our team
members need to be empathetic and friendly and able to put patients at ease.
What skills and experience do I need?
We'll provide training so experience isn't always needed, but the following things will be
advantageous:

  • Previous experience in a customer or patient facing role

  • Experience in a busy administrative role

  • A competent user of all Office 365 programmes

  • Tech savvy and comfortable working on new systems e.g. patient record systems

  • A good phone manner

  • An excellent grasp of the English language both verbally and in written format

  • A good team player - happy to jump in and support others when required

    Newmedica are one of the leading providers of NHS ophthalmology services in England, providing

  • outpatients appointments, diagnostic testing and eye surgery. We aim to change lives through
    better sight and eye health.

    We care for thousands of NHS and private patients a year in our specialist eye clinics across the
    country. We have significant growth plans over the next few years as we look to establish a national
    footprint and open many new sites across the UK.

    We are thrilled to say that following an independently conducted survey of Newmedica colleagues,
    we have been certified as a Great Place to Work®. This is a global benchmark that recognises

  • free 24/7 well-being/counselling/advice service and a retail/technology discount
    scheme.
  • An environment where your learning and development is supported through a range


  • of various learning tools and courses.
  • Working with a friendly multi-disciplinary team passionate about improving the lives


  • of our patients
