Healthcare Assistant (Medical Receptionist)

Come and Join Our Team at The Garden!

About the Role

We’re on the lookout for a new receptionist (or as we call it, Healthcare Assistant) to join our vibrant team at The Garden Family Medical Clinic in Murdoch. We’re open to both part-time and full-time applicants and are looking for someone who shares our passion for people, healthcare and doing things differently.

This role is all about providing friendly, welcoming support to our patients while helping keep the clinic running smoothly behind the scenes.

So, what is a Healthcare Assistant?

At The Garden, our Healthcare Assistants (HAs) are so much more than receptionists. You're the first friendly voice on the phone, the warm smile at the front desk, and the calm presence in the chaos. You’re part of the glue that holds our clinic together.

Our HAs are part of everything – from admin and education to leadership and customer care. Every day brings something different. And most importantly, you’re a key part of someone’s health journey.

What You'll Be Doing

Welcoming patients with empathy and professionalism — making them feel seen and heard

Managing the appointment schedule using HotDoc and Best Practice (if you haven't used these before, don’t worry, we’ll train you!)

Answering patient enquiries and directing them to the right person

Keeping patient information accurate and confidential

Supporting the team with tasks like scanning, filing, and data entry

Helping our clinical team where needed — we work together and pitch in when it counts

What We’re Looking For

A warm, positive attitude and a genuine interest in people and healthcare

A willingness to learn and grow – we’ll teach you the rest

Great communication skills – friendly, clear, and professional

Previous customer service experience (medical reception is a bonus but not essential)

Someone who’s adaptable, calm under pressure, and patient – it can be busy at times

Comfortable with computers and office software (Teams, Outlook, etc.)

Bonus points for experience with Best Practice or in a medical clinic setting

A respect for confidentiality and patient privacy

Most importantly, someone who wants to make a difference in people’s lives

What We Offer

A supportive, inclusive team environment where your contribution is valued

Regular training and development, including all-inclusive team education events (on everything from emergency medicine to mindfulness)

Innovation at our core – we love improving how we do things and welcome your ideas

Pathways to grow into areas like admin leadership, education, allied health coordination, marketing, or training

Flexible working options and a focus on work-life balance

Fun and connection – from social events to wellness initiatives, we care about our people
