Job Description

Are you a meticulous and compassionate administrator looking for a pivotal role within a dynamic healthcare environment? Recruiting Today is actively seeking a dedicated Healthcare Administrator for a leading private healthcare provider based in the heart of Edinburgh Park EH12. This is an immediate-start opportunity for a professional who thrives on ensuring smooth, efficient, and patient-focused administrative operations. Our client operates a state-of-the-art outpatient clinic and diagnostic centre, renowned for its high standards of patient care and operational excellence. As the backbone of their administrative functions, you will play a crucial role in supporting clinical teams, managing patient pathways, and maintaining the impeccable reputation of the facility. This position is not just about managing diaries and data; it's about being the first point of contact for patients during potentially anxious times, requiring exceptional communication skills and empathy.

By applying through Recruiting Today, you gain direct access to this exclusive role and the support of a specialist recruitment consultancy that understands the local Edinburgh Park healthcare landscape. We have established, trusted relationships with premier healthcare employers across the region, from large NHS trusts to private sector leaders. Whether you're seeking a temporary position to gain diverse experience or a foot in the door for a potential permanent career move, this role offers significant scope. We streamline the application process, offering clear communication and guidance, ensuring your skills are presented effectively to the hiring manager. Just as we successfully place Sexual Health Advisors in Southampton or Administrative Support Officers, we are experts in matching talent with opportunity in critical support roles.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the primary point of contact for patients, handling sensitive enquiries via phone, email, and in-person with discretion and professionalism, ensuring a positive patient experience from the first interaction.
• Manage complex clinic diaries and appointment scheduling for multiple consultants and clinical departments, optimising room utilisation and minimising patient waiting times through efficient administrative coordination.
• Process patient referrals, registrations, and discharges using the clinic's Patient Administration System (PAS), ensuring all data is entered accurately, confidentially, and in compliance with GDPR and Caldicott principles.
• Prepare and organise patient notes, test results, and correspondence for clinical appointments, liaising directly with medical secretaries and clinical staff to ensure a seamless flow of information.
• Handle administrative tasks related to patient billing and invoicing, liaising with insurance companies and patients to clarify coverage and process payments, contributing to the financial operations of the clinic.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as a Healthcare Administrator, Medical Secretary, or similar role within a NHS trust, private hospital, GP practice, or clinical setting. Familiarity with medical terminology and patient pathways is essential.
• Exceptional organisational skills and the ability to prioritise a demanding workload under pressure, maintaining accuracy and attention to detail when managing multiple tasks simultaneously.
• Strong proficiency in core IT systems, including Microsoft Office Suite, and experience with specialist healthcare software such as SystmOne, EMIS, or other Patient Administration Systems (PAS).
• Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills, with a naturally empathetic and calm demeanour suitable for interacting with patients, visitors, and multidisciplinary clinical teams.

Salary & Benefits

This role offers a competitive hourly pay rate, reflective of your experience and the responsibilities of the position. Pay is processed weekly, providing you with regular and reliable income. While specific figures are determined upon application and interview, we ensure our rates are aligned with market standards for Healthcare Administrator roles in the Edinburgh Park EH12 area. In addition to the financial remuneration, this position offers significant non-monetary benefits:

• Immediate Start: Begin earning and gaining valuable experience without a lengthy hiring process.
• Temp-to-Perm Potential: Demonstrate your value with the strong possibility of the temporary assignment converting into a permanent position with the client.
• Professional Environment: Work within a modern, well-resourced healthcare facility that values its staff and invests in a positive working culture.
• Career Development: Exposure to a wide range of administrative functions within healthcare, enhancing your CV and opening doors for future specialisation, much like the pathways we support for Regulatory Affairs Officers or Technical Documentation Specialists.
