Based in South Africa and employed by Mediq, successful applicants will support primary care services by handling inbound calls from patients across multiple GP surgeries in the UK.

LineIn is committed to improving patient care, which starts with compassionate, dependable, and capable people like you. If you have experience in a contact centre or busy reception and want a meaningful role where you genuinely help people, this could be the perfect next step. This role is not back-office admin; it is demanding, dynamic, and high-contact, where empathy, professionalism, and communication make a daily impact.

This is a fast-paced, hands-on contact centre environment where every call makes a difference.

• Dedicated practice support: Work consistently with two GP practices at a time

• Handling a high volume of fast-paced inbound calls
• Gathering and recording essential patient information and medical history, and signposting appropriately

• Escalate urgent cases appropriately
• Direct patients to online self-service tools when suitable
• Uphold confidentiality and Data Protection standards

The service runs during GP surgery hours. You need to be available for a mix of morning and afternoon shifts, mainly between 9:00 am and 8:00 pm, Monday to Friday, scheduled in advance to support work-life balance.

• Variety and growth: Work with multiple practices to build skills and confidence
• Meaningful impact: Your care and quality are truly valued
• Full training provided: No need to have all answers on day one
• Supportive management: Constant support and feedback for growth and wellbeing

• Recent experience in healthcare and patient interaction
• At least 1 year of call handling experience
• 1+ year in a high-volume, contact centre, patient-facing, or reception role
• Confident managing high volumes of inbound calls in a fast-paced environment
• Reliable with strong work ethic and commitment to excellent service
• Excellent timekeeping and organizational skills
• A quiet, dedicated home working space with secure internet, backup power, headset, and a Windows 10 or 11 PC
• Strong IT literacy and ability to use multiple systems
