Job Description

This private school in Brackenfell needs a friendly, organised person holding the front desk together. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

This post is Brackenfell-based, with most of your time spent at a private school.

What your day looks like

  • Check patients in, verify medical aid details and collect co-payments.
  • Keep the reception area neat and the coffee station stocked.
  • Take clear phone messages and send them by email straight away.
  • Sign visitors in, issue access cards and notify the right person.
  • Order stationery and cleaning supplies and check deliveries.
  • Type basic letters and update the internal phone list.

What you need

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

Nice if you have

  • A secretarial or office administration certificate
  • Medical billing or practice software experience

On offer

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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: your typing or admin certificate, if any, a neat CV with two references plus certified copy of your matric certificate.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Brackenfell.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Answer the recruiter's call the way you would answer at work: greeting, your name and a smile in your voice.
  • List the phone systems and booking software you have used; practices look for people who need little training.
