Description
Welcome Team Coordinator
0-hours Contract
We’re looking for a Welcome Team Coordinator to provide a warm, calm and professional in-person experience for patients attending our Practices.
This is a front-of-house, patient-facing role. All phone calls, emails and online requests are handled centrally, so this role focuses on welcoming patients, supporting safe patient flow and contributing to proactive patient care within the practice.
Patients don’t always arrive at their best. They may be unwell, anxious or worried. You’ll help patients feel listened to and supported, while also helping clinical teams by making sure patient information and observations are accurate and up to date.
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.
Key Responsibilities
- Welcome patients and visitors to the practice.
- Support safe and smooth patient flow.
- Use empathy and de-escalation skills to manage difficult situations.
- Collect and record patient observations and medical vitals.
- Keep reception and waiting areas clean, safe and welcoming.
- Escalate urgent in-person concerns when needed.
