Job Summary
Beacon Surgery, located in the East Sussex countryside, is seeking to recruit a Medical Receptionist/Administrator to join our team on a fixed-term basis to March 2027 to provide maternity cover.
The successful candidate will be enthusiastic, approachable and able to work effectively in a busy primary care environment, contributing to the delivery of high quality patient services.
The post holders will act as the first point of contact for patients, managing telephone calls and enquiries, booking appointments and liaising with clinicians and other members of the practice team. The role also includes a range of administrative duties such as processing prescriptions and maintaining electronic records and filing systems.
As the first point of contact for patients, excellent communication skills are essential. Candidates must demonstrate a caring and professional approach, be well organised, able to work under pressure and be flexible to support service delivery, including providing cover for staff annual leave when required.

Appointment to this post is subject to satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and receipt of satisfactory references.
