As an Outpatient Reception Clerk within Radiology, you will play a key role in supporting the delivery of a high-quality patient service across multiple hospital sites. Working as part of a busy administrative team, you will greet and check in patients, respond to patient and staff enquiries, book appointments, register radiology requests on the Radiology Information System, and provide a range of general administrative support to ensure the smooth running of the service.

You will be expected to use your own initiative, manage competing priorities, and seek advice when required. Excellent communication and customer service skills are essential, as you will regularly interact with patients, relatives and healthcare professionals, ensuring enquiries are handled promptly, professionally and with compassion. The role involves frequent use of IT systems and requires good keyboard and organisational skills. Previous reception or administrative experience is desirable, although full training will be provided for the right candidate.
