A little about the role

We are looking for a Patient Access Co-ordinator to join our team at The London Clinic. This role is perfect for someone with a strong customer service background — whether from hospitality, retail, airlines, or other face-to-face service industries — who wants to develop a career in healthcare.

As the first point of contact for our patients, you will set the standard for a seamless, welcoming and compassionate journey through our Outpatients & Diagnostics services. You don’t need prior healthcare or reception experience; what matters most are your people skills, adaptability and professionalism.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys helping others, and is ready to transfer their skills into a rewarding and stable career path with clear progression.

What you’ll be doing

• Provide a professional welcome, handling enquiries and requests promptly and courteously.
• Accurately register patients, update records, and process bookings in our systems (full training provided).
• Arrange payment plans, take deposits, and check insurance authorisations and Letters of Guarantee.
• Ensure daily cash handling and reconciliations are completed accurately.
• Support patient flow, coordinating with clinical teams to minimise delays.
• Handle sensitive information with discretion and confidentiality.
• Assist patients with additional needs such as transport bookings.

What we’re looking for

• Strong background in customer service (hospitality, retail, airlines, front-of-house, or similar).
• Excellent communication skills, with a calm, professional and empathetic approach.
• Adaptable, organised and reliable, with the ability to thrive under pressure.
• Good PC skills; confident learning new systems.
• Experience working with vulnerable people (desirable).
• Additional languages (desirable).
