Receptionist/Care Navigator

We are looking to recruit a Receptionist/Care Navigator for our busy GP Surgery in Southampton.

You will be working as part of a busy team where you will be the first point of contact for all enquiries. You will be answering the phone to patients, professionals and clinicians and will be a key link within the team. The duties are many and varied and include answering the telephone, covering reception, booking appointments, sorting mail and using Systm1 (an electronic patient record), and working with the workflow and back office teams.

The role requires a high level of inter-personal skills and personal confidence. Having a respectful and empathetic attitude will be essential, with the capacity to manage sensitive, and confidential information. We are looking for people who have a 'can do' attitude.

This is a 6 months fixed term post. We have full time (37.5 hours per week) and part time (18 hours per week) contracts available. The work will involve working in our call centre and on reception at one of our four sites within Southampton. We require somebody with the ability to work a mixture of early shifts with a 7.45 a.m. start and late shifts with a 6.30 p.m. finish. There is also the opportunity to work on a Saturday on a rota basis.
