A medical receptionist is the first point of contact for patients at a GP surgery or primary care setting. It's a varied, patient-facing role that combines administration, communication, and a genuine understanding of how a GP practice runs.

The role varies by practice, but these are the core responsibilities you'll encounter in most GP surgery and PCN settings.
Answering inbound patient calls, booking appointments, and signposting to the appropriate clinician or service.
Managing the clinical diary — booking, cancelling, and rescheduling appointments across multiple clinicians.
Handling repeat prescription requests and liaising with the dispensary or pharmacy as required.
Maintaining accurate patient records in EMIS Web or SystmOne — coding, letters, and referral administration.
Guiding patients to the right service — GP, ANP, pharmacist, social prescriber, or external provider.
Post, scanning, filing, QOF recalls, and supporting the practice manager with administrative tasks.
We place non-clinical staff into GP settings every week. We understand what practices need and what candidates want.
We only recruit for primary care — so we understand the difference between EMIS and SystmOne, what care navigation means, and what a busy Monday morning looks like.
We have medical receptionist vacancies across every major UK city and region — and we prioritise finding you roles close to home.
Many of our receptionist candidates are placed within 1–2 weeks of registration. We move quickly because practices need cover fast.
We negotiate on your behalf and benchmark salaries regularly to make sure you're paid fairly for your experience and skills.
We guide you through every step — application, interview preparation, offer, and onboarding. You won't be left in the dark.
Our NHS framework status means practices across England can recruit non-clinical staff through us directly — more opportunities for you.
Simple, friendly registration and a fast matching process — designed for non-clinical candidates.
