Full job description

Please read the following notes carefully

General

  • This position is not eligible for the UK Visa Sponsorship Scheme
  • If you are outside of our area your application will only be considered if you are actively planning to relocate nearby in the near future
  • As the job includes occasional chaperone duties, an Enhanced DBS criminal records check will be required for the successful candidate
  • We are seeking a start date of 1 September 2026 or earlier, so we may call suitable candidates at any point during this process and close this advertisement early, should the right person be found.

Shift working

This position is for a minimum of 25 hours per week, which must be worked across five days Monday to Friday. Because we are open from 08.00 to 19.00, most of our Medical Receptionists have an alternating early/late working pattern where one week starts early (e.g. 07.30 or 08.00) and the next ends late. We are also open until 20.00 two nights a week but with fewer staff. All the team work a rota for scheduled late shifts, which are less frequent. In addition, occasional Saturday morning clinics are required, along with occasional holiday and sickness cover for absent colleagues, so flexibility is valued.

Please note

If you apply for this position, please confirm that you acknowledge the working pattern and other requirements outlined above. Applications without this will not be taken further. If you have any questions, please email bobicb-ox.dhc.info@nhs.net.
