Brentwood Hospital | Customer | Permanent | Full Time |
Up to £28,000 per annum depending on experience

Are you a confident, customer-focused administrator with a passion for delivering outstanding service? If so, you could be exactly what we’re looking for. Join the UK’s largest healthcare charity and become part of a talented team making a real difference to the nation’s health.

This is a fantastic opportunity to play a vital role in supporting patient services while taking the next exciting step in your career.

As a Customer Services & Business Administrator, you will be proactive, resilient, and comfortable working in a fast-paced business support environment. You will have excellent interpersonal skills, enabling you to build strong working relationships with key stakeholders, collaborate effectively, and positively influence colleagues.

You will also demonstrate strong IT proficiency, particularly in Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and Excel. Previous experience in a similar role or relevant qualifications would be advantageous; however, full on-the-job training will be provided.

Key responsibilities (including but not limited to):

  • Managing patient enquiries via telephone, email, and face-to-face interactions

  • Providing treatment quotations and booking patient appointments

  • Processing payments using card payment systems

  • Accurately recording patient information on the hospital’s internal systems

  • Scanning clinical notes and supporting the provision of information to the clinical coding team

An understanding of healthcare environments and clinical specialities would be beneficial, though not essential.

You will play a key role in ensuring the smooth day-to-day operation of the service, representing Nuffield Health as a confident, professional, and capable team member. You will be expected to adhere to all policies and procedures, consistently championing the Nuffield Health brand and values, while proactively supporting the wider team with additional and ad hoc duties when required.

To succeed in this role, you will have:

  • Excellent organisational and communication skills

  • A reliable, professional, and career-focused approach

  • Strong ability to prioritise and manage workload effectively

  • Experience engaging with stakeholders at all levels

  • Good numeracy skills and attention to detail

  • Resilience, with the ability to remain calm under pressure

  • A commitment to continuous improvement and personal development

  • The confidence and capability to handle and de-escalate challenging situations

The ability to start at short notice would be advantageous.

Hints & Tips

Help with your application.

Once you’ve found the right role for you, you can apply online. All you need to do at this stage is submit your CV, a covering email, and a few personal details.

Our recruitment team screens all of the applications we receive. So, if they see that you’ve got the right sort of skills and experience needed for the role, your details will be passed on to the relevant hiring manager. Then, if you fit all the criteria at this stage, you’ll be invited to take part in a video, telephone or face-to-face interview. 

CV

Think about the skills and qualities asked for in the job description and show how you’ve applied those same skills and qualities in other roles. Focus on the things that will make us want to see more of you.

Covering email

Your CV will contain details about why you’d be a good fit for the role, but it’s well worth adding a short, snappy paragraph pulling out the two or three most compelling reasons as to why you’d be perfect for the job in your covering email..

Video interview

The video interview lasts 15-20 minutes if you get to this stage. On the day, look the part, be aware of your surroundings and practice your answers to feel prepared. Most of all, relax and be yourself.

DBS Checks

Some of our roles require a DBS check and they are processed through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) as part of the recruitment process. These checks are to assist employers in making safer recruitment decisions. However, a check is just one part of robust recruitment practice.

Documents

You could be asked to provide proof of vaccinations as part of our Occupational Health pre-employment screening. We know it can be time consuming to get this information if you don’t already have it to hand, so we encourage you to start preparing this information to avoid any delays to the onboarding process.

Your current studies

If you are currently undertaking any strudies, education or apprenticeships, its worth noting there are some training provider we're not partnered with, and therefore potentially unable to support your continued learning. Ensure you share this at interview and for queries contact psc@nuffieldhealth.com

Feedback on applications

Due to the volume of applications we receive we are unable to provide individual feedback from an inital application.
