SalaryRingwood Oncology is a busy specialist practice based at Ringwood private hospital. In the last few years, our practice has grown from 2 to 5 specialists so we have had to expand our practice administration staff from 2 to 4 receptionists working in the same practice. Each receptionist has been assigned to various specialists but this position advertised is to replace the main receptionist for Dr Lionel Lim (who is the busiest specialist within the practice) due to the imminent retirement of our longstanding Practice manager this year after many years of service. The job will involve receiving patients as they arrive, taking phone calls, working with ZEDMED software, billing and accounts as well as a significant amount of typing letters.
It will require a commitment of 4 days a week from 8.30am to 5.30pm as well as flexibility to cover other staff on leave etc. This will roughly equate to a 4 day/38 hour week.
Previous experience in the medical/medical administration is an advantage for the successful applicant but the values we are looking for that are vital in this role are a good work ethic, honesty and integrity, a sense of responsibility, the ability to multi-task and also a compassionate and warm approach to dealing with oncology patients. Good typing skills are essential, as well as the ability to get along with people, as you will be sharing the office space with several other staff members. Our practice has a warm, friendly and professional environment.
Training for this job will be provided by the current Practice manager. There is room for an extension of this role over time, to a that of a Practice manager as performance improves.
Please note that a seperate advertisement for a part time Medical Receptionist role of 2-3 days per week is also being advertised concurrently to work for one of the haematologists in the same practice. To avoid confusion, that role is a part time role for Dr Nisha Thiagarajah (Haematologist). THIS position is for a full time receptionist role for Dr Lionel Lim who is a medical oncologist.
