• Greeting patients and visitors and dealing with enquiries in person, by telephone and online.
• Booking, amending and cancelling appointments.
• Processing prescription requests and other admin.
• Managing patient information accurately and confidentially using the clinical computer system, EMIS.
• Signposting patients to the most appropriate service or healthcare professional.

The University of Nottingham Health Service is looking for a hardworking and enthusiastic Medical Receptionist to join our team on a 12-month fixed-term contract to provide maternity cover. Based at Cripps Health Centre on the beautiful University of Nottingham campus, our practice is easily accessible by public transport. Staff parking is available on site, although a parking permit is required. This is an exciting opportunity to join a large and supportive reception team within a busy GP practice serving students, staff and their families. The role is fast-paced, particularly during university term time, and no two days are the same. We are looking for someone who is passionate about delivering excellent customer service and enjoys helping people. Previous experience in a healthcare setting would be beneficial, but is not essential, as full training will be provided. What matters most is a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and the ability to work effectively as part of a team in a busy environment. If you are organised, reliable, and committed to providing a high standard of service, we would love to hear from you.

At Cripps Health Centre, you'll join a welcoming and supportive team committed to delivering excellent patient care.
