Job Description Summary:

The Guest Services Liaison creates a welcoming, safe, and consistently positive experience for visitors, leaders, associates, patients, vendors, job candidates, and other individuals entering or moving through a health system facility. This position serves as a primary point of contact by greeting individuals, identifying their needs, completing or supporting visitor check-in processes, notifying appropriate departments or hosts of arrivals, and providing accurate directions and wayfinding assistance.

The Guest Services Liaison may be assigned to a hospital, clinic, outpatient facility, administrative or business office, or another health system location. Responsibilities may vary based on the services and operational needs of the assigned facility.

This position uses visitor management systems, business-office applications, communication tools, directories, scheduling systems, kiosks, and other technology to support daily operations. The Guest Services Liaison works collaboratively with clinical and non-clinical departments to facilitate access, resolve routine questions, support a safe environment, and help individuals navigate the facility efficiently and respectfully.

This is a non-clinical position requiring strong customer service, communication, organization, technology, and problem-solving skills. The individual must be able to manage multiple priorities with accuracy while maintaining confidentiality and providing service appropriate to each person’s needs.

Responsibilities And Duties:

• Guest Reception and Customer Service: Serves as the primary point of contact for visitors, leaders, associates, patients, vendors, contractors, job candidates, and other guests.

Coordinates with Security and department leaders when access cannot be confirmed, escalates safety or operational concerns through established channels, and follows emergency, evacuation, incident-reporting, and business-continuity procedures.
• Wayfinding and Navigation: Provides accurate directions to departments, offices, parking, transportation, and building connections using maps, electronic directories, digital wayfinding tools, and signage. Escorts individuals when accessibility or operational needs call for it, and reports outdated, unclear, or missing wayfinding information.
• Patient and Public Assistance: Helps patients and visitors use kiosks and check-in technology, and supports arrival or preliminary check-in when trained and authorized. Arranges mobility, transportation, language, or accessibility assistance through established processes. Maintains non-clinical boundaries and refers clinical, financial, scheduling, privacy, or security questions to authorized personnel.
• Administrative and Technology Support: Uses visitor management, badge-printing, communication, directory, scheduling, and business-office applications (such as Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and Teams) to enter, verify, and share information accurately. Monitors shared mailboxes and service requests when assigned, and supports routine administrative work such as data entry, document preparation, and mail or package coordination.
• Operational and Department Support: Works with clinical and administrative departments, Security, Facilities, Human Resources, Information Technology, and transportation services to support service excellence, safety, quality, and privacy. Assists with special events, meetings, orientations, and tours, and performs courier or delivery activities when assigned.
