Medical Receptionist jobs in Worthing BN12

TwentyOneDental is an independently owned, multi-award-winning, fully private digital dental, implant and facial aesthetics clinic in Brighton & Hove.

Operating from our impressive detached clinic, we are looking for an experienced and highly professional Lead Dental Receptionist / Front of House Lead.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an accomplished dental receptionist with considerable experience who is now ready to take the next step into a genuine leadership role — bringing their knowledge, expertise and judgement to a position offering greater responsibility, autonomy and ownership.

You will join a superb, friendly, sociable and longstanding team within our prestigious and well-established clinic.

The Role

Reporting directly to and supporting our Operations Manager, you will take overall responsibility for Front of House, while working alongside, supporting and overseeing our existing Front of House team member.

Key responsibilities include:

• Taking ownership and accountability for the smooth day-to-day operation of Front of House
• Meeting and greeting patients at the door with warmth, kindness, courtesy and impeccable professionalism
• Proactively managing and maximising each clinician's diary, understanding the importance of using valuable clinical time effectively
• Working proactively to ensure agreed diary, Front of House and performance targets are achieved
• Identifying cancellations and diary gaps early and taking appropriate action
• Ensuring all patient records, recalls, follow-ups and outstanding actions are accurate, promptly actioned and followed through to completion

• Ensuring everything is checked, prepared and exactly as it should be each day, reflecting the exceptional quality and standards our patients have come to expect from TwentyOneDental
• Anticipating what needs attention, taking initiative and ensuring it gets done
