Do you work well in a team?

The Royal Cornwall Hospital's busy Emergency Department has a vacancy for a Receptionist to provide an exceptional patient experience by ensuring a welcoming, helpful and supportive reception service. The role is integral to the patient journey and the ideal candidate will demonstrate care and compassion while maintaining a sense of calm while working under pressure. This role differs to a 'traditional' role in that, firstly, the successful applicant will be required to work what some might consider to be abnormal hours (this is offset by the opportunity to accrue enhanced payments) and, secondly, the successful applicant will be required to develop a certain resilience in response to certain stresses of the role.
The ability to observe patient confidentiality and maintain a professional manner are essential and the post holder will be required to work with minimal supervision. Successful candidates will also have the ability to exercise sound judgement and decision making skills whilst working as part of a team or under own initiative., Previous experience of working in a customer focused environment is essential.
Previous experience of working within a healthcare environment / clinical setting, and previous experience of using healthcare IT systems would also be desirable.
Ability to organise and prioritise own workload to meet all relevant deadlines is essential.
