The role requires the individual to meet deadlines for appointments and targets, to communicate well with all members of the multidisciplinary team, patients, and their relatives and to act in a professional, courteous manor at all times.
To be successful, you will need to show a willingness to learn and work as part of a team. Have good attention to detail, organisational and IT skills and the confidence to question and seek clarity from your team members and stakeholders.
You may be asked to cover reception duties with an expectation to work some bank holidays and Saturday’s on rotation. The department is open from 7.30am to 6pm (Monday to Friday) and the team is expected to cover between these hours with some flexibility.
