Medical Secretary
A fantastic opportunity has arisen at London Road Surgery for the position of Medical Secretary. This is an important role in the practice as it requires accuracy and efficiency in managing the requests for referrals and responses from secondary care. The hours are full time, but we can be flexible for the right candidate. Knowledge of working in the NHS is not essential but a great work ethic and being a team-player is, as well as being flexible and able to manage a workload.
The successful candidate will have experience in secretarial work and will need to demonstrate experience in Word, Excel and Microsoft Outlook. Knowledge of our clinical system, SystmOne, and referral platform eRS would be an advantage but not essential as training will be given.
You will work closely with the two other secretaries in the team and as we operate a process driven system, you will be able to contribute to creating and editing the relevant processes to enhance efficiency in the practice.
London Road Surgery has 14,200 patients and we have modern well-equipped premises, built in 2017, offering an excellent working environment with free car parking. We are close to Wickford High Street and Wickford Station, so commuting by train is an option.
Please check our website to view further information. Informal visits are encouraged.
We have a Good rating from the recent CQC Inspection in October 2021, and we participate in pilots to enhance patient care. We are active members of the Wickford PCN and lead on the Wellbeing Café at the Nevendon Centre starting on 7.5.25
In addition to your salary, you will be entitled to join the NHS Pension Scheme.
