Administrator / receptionist

London
Integrated Care System
Admin receptionist
Posted: 13 July
Offer description

Patient Services Officers (PSOs) are the first point of contact at the practice for our patients, their carers, and other healthcare professionals. The role comprises three key areas of responsibility: greeting patients and answering queries at front desk, answering telephone calls, and administrative work. It is both a challenging and rewarding role with clear opportunities for career progression for staff who show interest and aptitude.

The practice welcomes applicants looking for both full-time and part-time work (minimum 4 days a week), and will always attempt to accommodate exceptional applicants with other commitments, such as caring, studies, or other employment.

We look forward to hearing from you! If you have questions or wish to discuss anything informally, please contact us to speak with the Practice Operations Manager, Joe Qiu.


Main duties of the job

Working closely with all members of the practice team, including GPs and administrative staff, PSOs will initially focus on greeting patients, answering calls, and processing correspondence. After training, responsibilities may include handling repeat prescriptions, managing medical record requests, processing reports, and coordinating recalls, tailored to individual interests.

We are a large, modern GP surgery located in the Akerman Health Centre in Lambeth, serving a diverse population of around 12,000 patients and part of the Fiveways Primary Care Network. Our team includes GPs, nurses, pharmacists, healthcare assistants, physiotherapists, and a mental health practitioner.
