As the first point of contact for our patients and our other healthcare colleagues, you must be a good communicator both in person and on the telephone. You must also be able to multi-task and prioritise your workload. Basic IT skills are essential, and previous experience working with the public would be beneficial.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the job, and the requirement to have reception cover throughout the day, the hours are non-negotiable.
