Job Description

This accounting practice in Worcester needs a friendly, organised person holding the front desk together. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

What your day looks like

  • Order stationery and cleaning supplies and check deliveries.
  • Answer and transfer calls on a multi-line switchboard within three rings.
  • Keep the reception area neat and the coffee station stocked.
  • Check patients in, verify medical aid details and collect co-payments.
  • Type basic letters and update the internal phone list.
  • Take clear phone messages and send them by email straight away.
  • Sort incoming post and book couriers for outgoing documents.

Must-haves

  • Well presented, punctual and organised
  • You can juggle a ringing phone and a waiting visitor at once
  • Discreet with confidential information
  • Microsoft Word, Outlook and basic Excel
  • At least 1 year on reception or a front desk

Helpful, not essential

  • A second language common in your area
  • Medical billing or practice software experience

What's in it for you

  • Normal office hours, Monday to Friday
  • Paid study leave for office admin courses
  • Annual bonus (13th cheque) at many practices
  • Safe, secure parking
