Why This Role? This clinic places enormous importance on the patient experience. For many patients, reception is their first interaction with the clinic, and the way that first telephone call, email or face-to-face conversation is handled can shape their entire experience. That's why they're looking for someone who doesn't see reception as simply answering phones and booking appointments. They want someone who takes pride in standards, notices when something could work better, supports the people around them and enjoys being trusted with responsibility.
