£12.80 per hour | Contracted shifts | Full training provided | Immediate starts available

A friendly welcome can make all the difference to someone who is feeling unwell. Could you be the person who makes that difference?

At East Berkshire Primary Care (EBPC), our receptionists play an essential part in helping patients access care. From welcoming someone to their appointment to supporting our doctors and nurses, you’ll help keep our services organised and running smoothly.

We’re looking for approachable, reliable people who enjoy helping others and working as part of a team. If you have experience in reception, administration or customer service and would like a rewarding role in healthcare, we’d love to hear from you. Previous GP reception experience is welcome, but full training is provided.

What you’ll do

No two shifts are quite the same. You’ll be a welcoming first point of contact for patients and a valued source of support for our clinical teams.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Welcoming patients and visitors and directing them to the right service.
• Answering telephone and face-to-face enquiries with patience and professionalism.
• Booking appointments and updating patient records accurately.
• Supporting doctors, nurses and colleagues with the day-to-day running of clinics.
• Passing on outstanding queries and relevant information at shift handover.
• Preparing equipment and reception areas for clinics and putting equipment away afterwards.

• Keeping reception and waiting areas tidy and welcoming.
• Completing general administrative tasks and contacting other providers when needed.
• Protecting patient confidentiality and following our safety, infection prevention and safeguarding procedures.

What we’re looking for:

You don’t need to know everything about healthcare when you join us. You do need a helpful attitude, attention to detail and a willingness to learn.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Communicates clearly and treats people with kindness and respect.
• Has experience in administration, reception or a customer-facing role.
• Can stay calm, organised and professional during busy periods.
• Is confident using computers, including Microsoft Office, and learning new systems.
• Has accurate keyboard and record-keeping skills.
• Works well with others and can use their initiative.
• Is reliable and understands the importance of confidentiality.
