Job description

Would you like to work for an organisation who puts patients first? Well at Lincoln Urgent Treatment Centre with Lincolnshire Community Health Service...

Your main role will be to provide a day to day effective and efficient receptionist, whilst talking to patients and clients in a positive and friendly manner, dealing with any queries that may occur, adhering to confidentiality and Data protection policies at all times. To operate a confidential and effective appointments booking system and to receive, register and direct patients to the appropriate area for consultation.

Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust is in the top 25 per cent of all community trusts for overall staff engagement in the 2021 NHS National Staff Survey.

At LCHS, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in LCHS' workforce.

LCHS recognises the increasing demand for more flexibility in working practices in order to accommodate the personal goals and commitments that employees experience at different stages during their working lives. Flexible working opportunities such as part-time working, compressed hours, job shares, and hybrid working models can help staff to balance their personal and work commitments. Arrangements can be put in place if it can be shown that the needs of the individual can be balanced with those of the service and the impact on other team members, enabling the Trust to recruit and retain skilled staff, raise staff morale, reduce absenteeism and respond to changing service needs more effectively.

We are an ambassador of a learning culture that will support the right individual to progress in their chosen career through an 'earn while you learn' apprenticeship programme.
