About Hopscotch
Hopscotch Children’s Therapy Centre is a specialist paediatric clinic in central London, delivering Sensory Integration, Occupational Therapy, and Speech and Language Therapy to children with neurodevelopmental differences including autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, and dyspraxia.
We support children and their families through, EHCP-funded and private pathways, working closely with Local Authorities, schools, and multidisciplinary professionals. We are in an active phase of growth, expanding our clinical team and developing an Alternative Education Provision at our adjacent premises. As we scale, the strength of our day-to-day operations matters more than ever, and this role is central to delivering it consistently.
The Role
We are looking for a capable, well-organised Client Services & Reception Coordinator to support the smooth day-to-day running of our clinic. Reporting to the Client Experience Manager, you will be the welcoming first point of contact for our families and the person who keeps front-of-house, scheduling, and clinic administration running consistently and professionally. This is not a clinical role, but it requires someone comfortable working within a busy clinical environment alongside qualified professionals. It is a hands-on, people-facing role for someone who takes pride in being organised, reliable, and warm with families. The successful candidate will bring a minimum of three years’ experience in a reception, customer service, or healthcare administration setting, with a track record of reliable delivery and strong attention to detail.
