Job Description

Be the First Friendly Face Patients See

In a busy hospital environment, organisation and calm communication can make all the difference.

We are looking for a Ward Receptionist who can bring warmth, efficiency, and reassurance to patients, families, and clinical staff. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys a fast-paced setting and takes pride in being a key part of a healthcare team.

About the Role

As the ward receptionist, you will act as the central point of contact for the ward, supporting both clinical staff and visitors. Your role ensures that daily operations run smoothly and that patients feel welcomed and informed throughout their care journey.

You will be based on a busy Trauma, Orthopaedic and Surgical ward, where no two days are the same.

Your Key Responsibilities

You will play an important role in supporting patient flow and communication by:

  • Acting as the first point of contact for patients, families, and visitors
    Coordinating admissions, transfers, and discharges efficiently
    Maintaining accurate patient records and updating hospital systems (PAS)
    Supporting clinicians with timely and accurate administrative information
    Booking follow-up appointments and arranging patient transport
    Providing a calm and supportive presence on the ward
    Ensuring communication between teams runs smoothly

Your work will directly support safe, timely, and effective patient care.

The Impact You’ll Make

While this is an administrative role, your contribution is central to patient experience. You will help ensure:

  • Patients feel welcomed and reassured
    Staff have accurate information when they need it
    The ward runs efficiently, even during busy periods

About the Trust

Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides care to more than 420,000 people across Nottinghamshire and surrounding areas.

The Trust is recognised for:

  • Being rated ‘Outstanding’ for care by the Care Quality Commission
    Strong staff engagement and positive workplace culture
    A commitment to putting patients at the heart of everything they do

Their guiding principle is simple: treat every patient with the care and dignity you would expect for your own family.

    Support both patients and healthcare professionals every day
    Develop strong administrative and communication skills
    Work within a respected and supportive NHS Trust
