Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing a warm and professional welcome to patients and delivering an excellent patient experience

• Managing telephone and patient enquiries, appointments, payments and general reception duties

• Maximising the appointment book and supporting the effective use of clinicians' time

• Helping to coordinate the day-to-day running of the practice and ensuring the team has what they need for a smooth working day

• Acting as a key point of contact within the practice and helping to resolve day-to-day queries and issues

• Taking a proactive approach to patient feedback and identifying opportunities to improve the patient experience

• Supporting effective stock management and ensuring supplies are replenished when required

• Helping to maintain high standards of practice presentation, cleanliness and organisation

• Supporting compliance with practice procedures, including Health & Safety, cross-infection and decontamination requirements

• Communicating effectively with clinicians and colleagues to promote a positive and supportive team culture

• Supporting the wider management team with practice administration and operational tasks as required

• Has previous experience within a dental practice environment, ideally within reception or administration

• Is organised, proactive and comfortable taking ownership of tasks

• Has excellent communication and patient service skills

• Is confident managing competing priorities within a busy environment

• Can use their own initiative while also working collaboratively as part of a team

• Enjoys problem-solving and helping things run smoothly

• Is enthusiastic about developing their skills and taking on additional responsibility
