Role overview
We are looking for a new Healthcare Administrator to join our Suffolk team. This will be 40 hours over 5 days per week including weekends, on a rota basis.
As you’d guess from the title this role involves carrying out different administrative duties and it’s a varied role – you could be booking patients into their appointments, making and answering phone calls, sending and replying to emails, managing the post and sending letters or dealing with enquiries. Our clinics are busy so we’re looking for someone who loves working in a fast-paced environment where every day is different.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We need someone who is incredibly customer focussed and enjoys meeting and talking to people - the thought of eye surgery can be a daunting prospect for patients to deal with, so all our team members need to be empathetic and friendly and able to put patients at ease.

- Must have a full UK driving license and access to a vehicle
- Previous experience in a customer or patient facing role
- Experience in a busy administrative role
- A competent user of all Office 365 programmes
- Tech savvy and comfortable working on new systems e.g. patient record systems
- A good phone manner
- An excellent grasp of the English language both verbally and in written format
- A good team player – happy to jump in and support others when required
What we’re offering
- A salary of £26,750.00 (FTE)
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays and an extra day of birthday leave!
- A company pension scheme
