Description

Healthcare Assistant
Monday

Office based:
Didcot

There will be scope to offering more hours over the coming months, but a desire to do so is not a pre-requisite to this position.

A bit about us:

Oxona Healthcare is a new type of private healthcare. We aim to offer accessible and affordable treatments for pay-as-you-go patients at a community level. No big expensive hospitals or spiralling bills, just excellent healthcare at a fair and transparent price. All appointments are with our experienced team of GPs.

We work from four locations, with permanent offices in Oxford and St Albans, and branch surgeries in Chipping Norton, Burford and Didcot.

As a business we are looking to grow to bring accessible healthcare to more communities.

The role:

This is a varied role involving everything from welcoming the patient into the surgery, preparing them for minor surgery, supporting them, setting up instruments for surgery and clearing away afterwards.

It is not for the feint hearted, but is for someone who wants a busy and very varied role. You must be okay with the site of blood

This role would suit someone looking to enter into healthcare, or someone more experienced or retired looking to keep their hand in.

We provide all training required. Good computer skills are essential (Outlook and Teams).

We use our own patient management system designed for private practice, but any experience of EMIS or similar would be useful.

You will be based in our Didcot clinic. Parking is available.

Responsibilities:

Greeting patients
Setting patient sup for surgery and providing appropriate emotional support
Preparing the room for minor surgery, including setting up instruments in a sterile field
Looking after patients postoperatively
Management of stock and reporting supplies
Taking billings and fees from the patients
Phlebotomy and dressing wounds (if qualified)
