Full-time Medical Administrator/patient Coordinator - Birmingham, United Kingdom - The Medical Secretariat Limited

Description

Full-time Medical Administrator/Patient Coordinator

Monday to Friday, 37.5 hours per week

Salary £22,000 to £25,000 per annum

We're an established, successful and growing company, based in a lovely location overlooking Bournville Green in Birmingham - home of the chocolate.

We provide administrative services to consultants in private practice. We do everything for our doctors, except see their patients. They have to do that themselves

We're looking for a
full-time Medical Administrator/Patient Coordinator to allow us to grow our company, strengthen the service we provide to the doctors who use our business to run their private practices, and to take on more consultant private practices.

We're looking for someone who wants to be part of our growth and our future, and we want to find a person who can make a difference to our business and help us take this forward and achieve our potential - because we do have great potential, but we need more of the right people

It's really important that you have advanced IT skills with Microsoft Office packages and Gmail, and are able to grasp new software quickly and easily.

As our business is entirely IT based, having these skills is non-negotiable, and you will need to be very confident and highly adept in these areas.

You need to be very organised and methodical, be able to follow processes, and able to handle more than one thing at a time.

You also have to have excellent telephone and written communication skills.

For the first three months, you will be working exclusively in our offices in Bournville so that you can learn from all of us how we do things and so that we can teach you what you need to know to be successful in this role.

After that, hybrid work may be an option for those who have suitable facilities at home and who want to do this, although working in our office for all of your hours is our favoured option.

What will you be doing?_

You'll be a key person at the heart of the practice or practices you look after.

You'll liaise with our doctors to ensure that they are where they should be at the right time; liaise with their patients, answering their queries, arranging their appointments, admissions and investigations; liaise with an external medical transcription company to ensure that they receive our dictation sound files and that their completed letters and reports are made available to the relevant doctor for checking; then print, post or securely E-mail all Clinic letters and reports.

You'll be trained to raise patient invoices for our doctors and submit these for payment, and to prepare the legal paperwork needed for patients having cost-bearing procedures or investigations.

This is a great opportunity for someone who is looking for a new challenge in a business which truly makes a difference.

Could this be you?

In this job description, we've done our best to include everything you need to know to help you to decide if you'd like to work with us.

If you believe you have the skills, experience and personal qualities we're looking for, we'd love to hear from you.
