Job Description: Medical Receptionist, Glasgow G51
Are you an organised, empathetic, and professional individual with a passion for providing outstanding front-line support in a healthcare setting? Recruitment Agency London is partnering with a well-respected medical practice in the heart of Glasgow G51 to find a skilled Medical Receptionist. This role is central to the patient experience, acting as the first point of contact and ensuring the administrative engine of the practice runs seamlessly. You will be joining a supportive team in a modern facility, where your contribution directly impacts patient care and operational efficiency. This position offers an immediate start, making it ideal for candidates seeking to begin a new chapter without delay, much like the opportunities we provide for roles such as a Telehandler in Heathrow TW6 or Warehouse Jobs in London.
Our client is a forward-thinking practice committed to delivering high-quality care to the local community. They value a warm, efficient, and confidential service, and are looking for a receptionist who embodies these qualities. By applying through Recruitment Agency London, you gain access to our extensive network of healthcare employers across Glasgow and beyond. We manage the entire process, from vetting to placement, ensuring a smooth transition into your new role. Whether you're looking for a long-term career move or a flexible temporary position, we work to match your skills and aspirations with the right opportunity, just as we do for Admin Assistant roles in Stratford or Hotel Receptionist Jobs in London.
Key Responsibilities & Daily Duties
As the frontline ambassador for the practice, your day will be varied and people-focused. Your core responsibilities will include:
- Patient Reception & Communication: Greeting patients, visitors, and healthcare professionals in a courteous and professional manner, both in person and over the phone. Managing a high-volume switchboard, directing calls appropriately, and taking detailed messages.
- Appointment Scheduling & Diary Management: Efficiently booking, rescheduling, and cancelling patient appointments using the practice's clinical software system (e.g., SystmOne, EMIS). Ensuring optimal utilisation of clinician time and managing waiting lists.
- Patient Registration & Data Administration: Registering new patients, verifying and updating patient demographic and clinical details with strict adherence to GDPR and confidentiality policies. Processing patient check-ins and check-outs.
- Administrative Support: Handling repeat prescription requests, processing incoming and outgoing mail, filing patient records (both electronic and paper-based), and supporting with general office tasks to ensure the smooth running of the reception area.
- Financial Transactions & Liaison: Processing payments for private services, handling petty cash, and liaising with external agencies such as hospitals, labs, and other healthcare providers to coordinate patient care.
Essential Skills & Candidate Requirements
To be successful in this Medical Receptionist role in Glasgow G51, you will need a blend of technical skill and personal attributes. We are looking for candidates who possess:
- Proven Experience: Previous experience in a medical, dental, or clinical receptionist role is highly desirable. Experience in a fast-paced customer service or administrative role (e.g., Front of House or Admin Assistant positions) will also be strongly considered.
- Technical Proficiency: Confidence in using Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook) and, ideally, experience with UK primary care clinical software systems. Training will be provided on specific systems, but a quick learning ability is essential.
- Exceptional Communication: Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to interact compassionately and effectively with patients from diverse backgrounds, including those who may be distressed or unwell.
- Organisational Excellence & Discretion: Impeccable organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to prioritise a busy workload. A steadfast commitment to patient confidentiality and data protection is non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What experience do I need to be a Medical Receptionist in Glasgow G51?
While previous experience in a medical or clinical setting is a significant advantage, it is not always mandatory. We value strong transferable skills from other receptionist, customer service, or administrative roles. Key attributes include excellent communication, organisation, empathy, and computer literacy. We provide support and guidance throughout the application process.
How quickly can I start this Medical Receptionist role?
This role is for an immediate start. For candidates who are immediately available and have their documentation in order (e.g., right to work, references), the process from application to first shift can often be completed within 2-3 working days. We pride ourselves on swift placement, similar to our process for Immediate Start Warehouse Jobs in Birmingham.
Is this a temporary or permanent position?
This specific Medical Receptionist role in Glasgow G51 is initially a temporary placement. However, the client practice has a strong preference for it to become a permanent position for the right candidate, following a successful temporary period. We specialise in both temporary and permanent recruitment across sectors.
Do I need a DBS check for this role?
Yes, working in a healthcare setting typically requires a standard DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check. If you have a current, transferable DBS certificate on the Update Service, this will speed up the process. If not, Recruitment Agency London can guide you through obtaining a new one, which may be at a cost to the candidate or client depending on the assignment.
What are the career prospects for a Medical Receptionist?
A role as a Medical Receptionist is an excellent entry point into the NHS and private healthcare sector.
