Description du poste

Medical Receptionist

Northern Suburbs, Cape Town | Start Date: URGENT - 2026 start

Are you a naturally organised, service-orientated individual who takes pride in creating a welcoming and professional experience for patients?

An established Specialist is preparing to join the family-run practice within Cape Town’s Northern Suburbs and is looking to appoint a capable, personable Medical Receptionist who will join the team and will play an integral role in the smooth day-to-day running of the front of house and support the day to day running of the practice.

This is an opportunity for someone who is not simply looking to manage a reception desk, but who can take ownership of the administrative and patient-facing aspects of the practice, ensuring that everything runs efficiently and that patients feel welcomed, valued and well looked after.

The ideal candidate will bring:

• Previous experience in an administrative capacity within a medical practice or a similar healthcare environment.
• A strong level of computer literacy, with experience in an electronic or paperless practice environment being a distinct advantage.
• A Matric certificate - this is an essential requirement.
• An excellent command of both English and Afrikaans (fluency in both) is a non-negotiable requirement.
• A mature, conservative and considered and professional approach.
• A warm, accommodating and service-driven personality, with a genuine appreciation for patient care.
• Resilient nature and accustomed to having worked within a practice dealing with patients who are critically ill.
• Flexibility to work outside of normal office hours if required to do so.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage appointments, patient enquiries, administrative processes and daily workflow efficiently.
• The ability to remain calm, composed and professional while managing competing priorities and ensuring a seamless patient journey.

A valid driver’s licence and own reliable transport would be preferred.

We are looking for someone who understands that the patient experience begins long before a consultation and continues well beyond it. You will be the welcoming face and organisational backbone of the practice - someone who anticipates needs, takes ownership, communicates confidently and ensures that both patients and the Specialist are well supported.

If you are a polished, capable and personable individual who enjoys working with people and thrives in a well-organised, technology-enabled environment, we would love to hear from you.
