Who are we

Newmedica are one of the leading providers of NHS ophthalmology services in England providing outpatients appointments diagnostic testing and eye surgery. We aim to change lives through better sight and eye health.

We care for thousands of NHS and private patients a year in our specialist eye clinics across the country. We have significant growth plans over the next few years as we look to establish a national footprint and open many new sites across the UK.

Role overview

We are looking for a new Healthcare Administrator to join our Suffolk team. This will be 40 hours over 5 days per week including weekends on a rota basis.

As youd guess from the title this role involves carrying out different administrative duties and its a varied role you could be booking patients into their appointments making and answering phone calls sending and replying to emails managing the post and sending letters or dealing with enquiries. Our clinics are busy so were looking for someone who loves working in a fast-paced environment where every day is different.

We need someone who is incredibly customer focussed and enjoys meeting and talking to people - the thought of eye surgery can be a daunting prospect for patients to deal with so all our team members need to be empathetic and friendly and able to put patients at ease.
