Dental Receptionist (Private Practice)

You'll be the first voice and face of an engineering consultancy in Bloemfontein. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

• Sign visitors in, issue access cards and notify the right person.
• Take clear phone messages and send them by email straight away.
• Order stationery and cleaning supplies and check deliveries.
• Check patients in, verify medical aid details and collect co-payments.

• Discreet with confidential information
• You can juggle a ringing phone and a waiting visitor at once
• Microsoft Word, Outlook and basic Excel

• A secretarial or office administration certificate

• Safe, secure parking
