Receptionist / Care Navigator

South Green Surgery has an opportunity for a receptionist to join our team on a part-time basis for 15.5 hours per week on Thursday mornings and all day Fridays.

There is more to our receptionist roles than answering the phone and making appointments. In this essential front-line role at the practice, receptionists help patients to access the right services, assist with keeping health records accurate and up-to-date, and ensure that appointment bookings are well-managed.,

• Greeting and assisting all patients;


• Navigating care by directing patients to the most appropriate service/clinician;


• Making appointments;


• Accepting, issuing and handing out prescriptions, letters, completed forms, specimen bottles, etc.;


• Dealing with requests for information, and managing problems and complaints;


• Advising patients of practice procedures;


• Registering new patients;


• Answering the telephone, promptly.
  
  South Green Surgery is under new management and is in the process of developing a dedicated team. The surgery works closely with both Queens Park Surgery and The New Surgery, Billericay to provide services to patients and is also a member of Billericay PCN.
