St John of God Eye Clinic

Location: St John of God Hospital, Subiaco
Position: Casual
Hours: 2 days per week (Average 10 - 15 hours) plus leave cover
Pay rate: $40/hr

St John of God Eye Clinic is a busy, private specialist practice seeking an experienced Medical Secretary/Receptionist to join our friendly team on a casual basis commencing in January 2025. Working across 2 days per week (usually Tues/Thurs), the role offers an average of approx 10-15 hours per week over a 4 week roster. If you are pro-active, accurate, possess the ability to handle multiple demands and have an enthusiasm to deliver an excellent patient experience, this could be the role you have been seeking. Providing support to 3 surgeons, you must be able to follow directives and protocols precisely and collaborate effectively with your colleagues.

While training is provided, your previous experience in a busy specialist environment is key. You will be adept at operating a busy reception desk with your warm and friendly demeanour. Sharing responsibility for ensuring that daily tasks are completed and assisting your colleagues to ensure the smooth running of clinics, this promises to be a busy and fulfilling role. It is essential that you’re able to increase or vary your hours during peak periods or when leave cover is required. You can anticipate either early starts or early evening finishes may be required during these periods.

We cannot overstate that leave cover is an essential element of this role. If you have limitations with your availability for planned leave cover, or difficulty with short-notice roster changes, then you will not be suitable for this position. Please consider this requirement carefully before making your application
