These are permanent posts. The post holders will be responsible for the booking of mandatory development reviews for 1 year olds and 2.5 year olds across Worcestershire. This includes management of a generic email account and an online booking system. Making and receiving phone calls forms a large part of this role.

Main duties of the job
Day to day work will include managing a generic mailbox and creating and maintaining clinic details on our online self-booking system. The team is responsible for inviting parents/carers of all 1 year olds and 2.5 year olds in Worcestershire to book their childs development review.
Appointments will need to be transferred from the online self-booking system to our electronic patient record (Rio). Parents/carers who do not self-book will need to be contacted by phone and letter to arrange appointments and therefore a good telephone manner is essential for this role.
The Appointments team is also responsible for fielding queries regarding other appointments within the service and redirecting callers as appropriate.
Applicants will be expected to have good interpersonal and IT skills and be willing to learn and develop within the team. The role is busy and varied and requires the post holder to have a flexible approach and a calm, professional manner. The ability to work accurately whilst multi-tasking is essential. A can-do attitude and excellent customer service skills are a must.
The successful candidate will have excellent verbal and written communication skills, excellent organisational skills, and a keen eye for detail. You will be used to working to processes to complete tasks by deadlines and always have the best interests of the patient at the centre of everything you do.
