About The Role
UNLOCK YOUR BEST WORK LIFE
+ make a difference for every patient
Are you an organised and confident communicator who thrives in a busy, people‑focused environment? We have an exciting part‑time opportunity for a Patient Pathway Coordinator to join our friendly team at Practice Plus Group Surgical Centre, Gillingham, on a fixed‑term contract for up to 12 months to cover maternity leave.
This role is ideal if you enjoy working in a fast‑paced, call‑centre‑style environment, where most communication takes place over the telephone. You’ll be supporting patients through every step of their healthcare journey — from referral to treatment — while working in a busy, team‑based office environment.
If you’ve previously worked from home or in a one-to-one setting, please note that this is a fully on‑site role, with lots of team interaction throughout the day. The office can be lively and noisy at times, so being comfortable in a dynamic, collaborative atmosphere is key.
What you'll be doing
As a key member of our administrative team, you will:
* Be the first point of contact for patients, GPs, and clinical teams — primarily over the phone.
* Handle a high volume of calls with professionalism, empathy, and efficiency.
* Manage patient referrals, pre-assessments, and bookings, ensuring every detail is accurate.
* Coordinate appointments, arrange transport or translation services, and update patient records.
* Support clinical teams by processing outcomes and scheduling follow‑up care or surgical procedures.
* Maintain confidentiality and deliver excellent customer service at all times.
* Contribute to a positive, supportive team culture.
You’ll be a strong communicator who enjoys helping others and keeping things running smoothly.
What we’ll look for in you
As an experienced administrator, you’ll bring:
* Excellent telephone and listening skills, with a calm, professional approach.
* Proven administrative experience, ideally from a busy customer service or call‑centre‑style role.
* Strong IT and data entry skills (Word, Excel).
* The ability to prioritise tasks and stay focused in a fast‑paced environment.
* A proactive, team‑focused attitude and a willingness to learn.
* Previous experience in healthcare administration is an advantage but not essential.
Working Hours and Benefits
* Work 25 hours per week.
* Fixed‑term contract (up to 12 months) to cover maternity leave.
* A full‑time equivalent salary of £24,249 per annum (part‑time salary for 25 hours - £16,166 per annum).
* 25 days’ annual leave (pro rata), plus bank holidays.
* Access to wellbeing, lifestyle, and learning opportunities through Practice Plus Group.
