Medical Receptionist Apprentice, White Rose Medical Centre, Cudworth, Barnsley, S72 8SU

Overview

We are looking for an apprentice to join our existing team. This is a multi‑skilled role for the successful candidate who will undertake a wide range of administration duties as well as face‑to‑face and telephone interactions with patients and visitors, in our busy administration office and when required in the reception area.

We are looking for someone who is dedicated, professional, self‑motivated, and who works well under pressure. The successful applicant will have good levels of literacy, IT, customer service, problem solving and interpersonal skills, with a commitment to the responsibilities of the role. Previous experience of working in a GP practice is NOT ESSENTIAL as full training will be provided. The successful candidate will have the opportunity in the future to train in other roles within the practice, with potential opportunities to experience nursing and secretarial work. We aim to develop our apprentices to a level where they have the skills and training needed to stand out from others when searching for jobs. Currently, all apprentices who have completed their programme at White Rose have been offered full time roles and are continuing to develop. Apprentices wishing to go into a nursing / healthcare career can benefit from training from our nursing team on how to take bloods, carry out health checks and measure BP etc.

Future Prospects

We have trained a number of apprentices – all of whom have been offered full‑time jobs on regular pay. We are passionate about the development of our apprentices beyond the apprenticeship programme. We have an apprentice who has been trained as a Healthcare Assistant and will be commencing a Nursing Associate Course. Other apprentices are continuing to develop their skills and competencies within the practice.
