Role overview

We are looking for a Patient Administrator to join our Nottingham site. This will be a part-time role of 20 hours per week.

As you’d guess from the title this role involves carrying out different administrative duties; it’s a varied role. You could be booking patients into their appointments and checking them in, welcoming patients at reception, 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-focused and enjoys meeting and talking to people – the thought of eye surgery can be a daunting prospect for patients, so all our team members need to be empathetic, 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

What we’re offering

• A salary of £26,750.00 FTE
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• A company pension scheme
• Access to a range of benefits including free eye tests, discounted or free glasses, a 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
• A bright, spacious and modern working environment, built to the highest standards
