Booking Specialist

About the department

Our Central Services teams are the driving force behind the exceptional experiences we deliver every day. Working in partnership with operational and clinical colleagues, the department provides expert support across key business functions, helping to ensure patients receive outstanding care from the moment they walk through our doors.

About the role

We are looking for an experienced customer success, sales, account management or customer experience professional to join our Specialist Booking Team.

This is not a traditional healthcare administration role. We are seeking a commercially minded and customer-focused individual who enjoys building relationships, managing enquiries and supporting customers through complex decision-making journeys.

Healthcare experience is helpful, but not essential. What matters most is your ability to communicate effectively, manage opportunities proactively and deliver outstanding customer experiences.

As a Booking Specialist, you will take ownership of enquiries from first contact through to booking outcome, helping patients, referrers and partners navigate Welbeck's services and identify the most appropriate pathways to meet their needs. You will play a key role in supporting business growth by maximising appropriate booking opportunities while always acting in the best interests of the patient.

Overview of key responsibilities:

• Manage enquiries, referrals and bookings across multiple services and centres.
• Guide patients and referrers to the most appropriate services, clinicians and pathways.
• Deliver an exceptional customer experience across every stage of the booking journey.
• Proactively manage enquiry pipelines, follow-up activity and booking opportunities.
• Build strong relationships with patients, referrers, consultants and internal teams.
• Support booking conversion and commercial performance through effective enquiry management.
• Use CRM systems, booking platforms and performance data to manage activity and maintain accurate records.
• Escalate complex enquiries and service issues appropriately and in a timely manner.
• Contribute to service improvement initiatives and the ongoing development of booking processes.
• Champion Welbeck's Guest Experience standards and Sales Excellence culture.

About you

Using AI

AI tools can be helpful when you're preparing documents or refining how you present your experience. What matters is that anything you share with us, from your application to your interview, reflects your own skills, experience and judgement.
