Job Overview
The ability to speak Welsh is essential for this post.
The post holder will provide efficient and comprehensive senior administrative support to the Practice Clinical and Management team. The post holder will be responsible for overseeing the provision of the managed practice administration requirements for the Practice and Complaints team.
The post holder will work with a degree of autonomy as the post contains a range of duties frequently undertaken at the post holder’s own initiative with limited supervision. This requires excellent judgement, organisational ability, communication skills, and the ability to cope with working to tight and multiple deadlines. Additionally, the post holder will be responsible for handling and resolving complaints, ensuring that all issues are addressed promptly and effectively.
Main Duties of the Job
Key Responsibilities:
- Manage complaints, ensuring they are logged, investigated, and resolved in a timely and effective manner, and that feedback is provided to all relevant parties.
- Handle difficult situations with patients, carers, and staff, such as complaints, which require tact and empathy.
- Responsible for the operational management of the Reception and Administration Team, including staff supervision, recruitment, training, performance management, and the preparation and maintenance of rotas to ensure adequate staffing levels and service continuity.
- Prepare and monitor Clinical appointment diaries, reviewing the demand and capacity on a daily basis to ensure service needs are met.
- Convene practice and multi-disciplinary meetings, including the preparation of agendas and production of minutes, ensuring any actions are dealt with within the agreed timeframes.
- Run searches and reports within the EMIS system to support the call and recall of chronic disease patients.
- Assist with the gathering of statistics and information when required.
- Perform other senior administration and clerical duties as required by the Practice Managers.
