The post is split between Lymphoedema administration and reception duties. The Lymphoedema element of the role includes arranging appointments, dealing with telephone and email enquiries, managing clinical correspondence and distributing compression garments to patients. The post also provides reception cover for the Therapies service, supporting patients when they attend appointments and dealing with general enquiries. Dedicated administrative and reception support enables therapists to focus on clinical and patient-facing work. Without this support, therapists would need to undertake more administrative and reception duties, reducing clinical capacity and potentially impacting waiting times and patient experience. The post is required to support the continued delivery of the Lymphoedema service and provide essential reception cover for the wider Therapies department. Maintaining this administrative capacity will help the service continue to manage appointments and patient enquiries, support the clinical team and minimise further pressure on waiting lists and patient access to treatment. ### Main duties of the job The post holder will provide a customer focused service for all patients and visitors attending or passing through the Therapy Services Department.
