Do you want to work at a GP surgery described by patients as a “caring, empathetic and robust practice” with “outstanding professional staff from front-of-house to the medical professionals”? Horfield Health Centre is the place for you!
Nearby practices, Gloucester Road Medical Centre and Greenway Community Practice enjoy similar reputations. Gloucester Road Medical Centre is termed the “best medical centre I’ve dealt with” by a patient, while another says “I’ve never had a smoother, better, calmer more stress-free experience”. Greenway provides “excellent service” with staff who are “friendly, professional and efficient”.
The three practices are looking for a highly organised and efficient individual (or individuals), with a clear understanding of the need for confidentiality, to join the team(s) as PA to the Practice Manager.
We welcome applications from anyone who has significant experience in general practice, so will understand how the system works. They will also be proficient in managing inboxes, diaries and often competing priorities.
We are looking for either one full-time person, or 2 x part-time people, with a work schedule to be agreed (but likely to be all 5 days of the working week).
When applying, please indicate how many hours per week you are ideally looking for.
