Private Surgical Bookings – Data Entry (Immediate Start: November to December)

Private Surgical Bookings – Data Entry Assistant

Immediate Start | November–December | 20–30 Hours per Week

We are seeking a bright, reliable and detail-oriented Data Entry Assistant to support our busy private anaesthetic practice during November and December.

This position would suit either:

• A motivated university student, particularly someone studying medicine, health sciences or a related field, who is looking to gain valuable experience in healthcare administration.

• An experienced medical administration professional, ideally with a background in private surgical bookings, anaesthetic bookings or medical accounts.

Previous medical administration experience would be an advantage, but is not essential for the right candidate. We are particularly interested in someone who is intelligent, organised, accurate and able to learn new systems quickly.

About the Role

The position primarily involves entering and managing patient and surgical booking information, ensuring that records are accurate, complete and processed efficiently.

You will be working with a small, professional team supporting private anaesthetists.

Initially, the role will involve 20–30 hours per week during normal business hours, covering a busy period and a staff member on maternity leave.

There may be opportunities for additional hours depending on workload and performance.

What We're Looking For

• Excellent attention to detail and a high level of accuracy

• Strong computer skills and confidence learning new software

• Good organisational skills and the ability to work efficiently

• A professional, friendly and approachable manner

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Ability to work independently and follow established procedures

• An understanding of the importance of patient confidentiality

• Previous experience in medical administration, surgical bookings or private medical accounts would be highly regarded, but is not essential

Australian work authorisation is required.

Additional Information

This is an excellent opportunity for a capable university student seeking practical experience in the healthcare sector, or an experienced administrator looking for short-term employment.

Immediate availability is preferred.

We anticipate receiving a large number of applications. Only applicants shortlisted for an interview will be contacted.
