A growing specialist practice, a team of four, and genuine flexibility in your working week.

Riverina Diabetes and Endocrinology is a family-owned specialist practice providing diabetes and endocrinology care to patients across the Riverina. Our team consists of one physician, one nurse practitioner and a practice manager.

Until now we have shared a secretary with another specialist in our rooms. The practice has grown to the point where we need our own, and that is the position we are advertising. You would be the first person to hold it.

The hours

Mondays and Thursdays, generally 8:00am to 5:30pm. These are our clinic days and are patient-facing.

Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Flexible, with hours and start times arranged by agreement. To give a sense of what this might look like, 9:00am to 3:00pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to align with school hours, and either a half day on Friday or no Friday at all. We are genuinely open on this.

If you are working around school hours, study or another commitment, we would encourage you to tell us what you need, as there is scope to arrange these days to suit.

About the role

You are the face of the practice. You are the first person our patients see when they arrive, the last they speak to on the way out, and the voice they hear when they call. The pace varies through the week: two days are patient-facing and busy, while the remainder are quieter, with room to work through the administration thoroughly. Our practitioners also consult by telehealth and work at the hospital, so there will be stretches where you are holding the practice on your own.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Welcoming patients and attending to them on arrival and departure





- Answering phones and email, and responding to enquiries from patients, general practitioners and hospitals

- Processing incoming referrals, including loading them into Gentu and forwarding them for clinical review

- Filing clinical results as they are received

- Preparing billing for our physician and nurse practitioner across clinic, telehealth, telephone and hospital consultations

- Preparing and turning over consulting rooms on clinic days

- Actioning tasks from the physician and supporting the practice manager

- Managing the appointment diaries of both our physician and our nurse practitioner, and keeping consulting days fully booked, including filling last-minute cancellations

- General practice administration

You will receive thorough handover, training and ongoing support from our practice manager.

About you

Previous medical reception experience is preferred but not essential. If you have developed transferable skills in another setting, such as pharmacy, veterinary practice, allied health, hospital administration, or a busy customer-facing role where accuracy and discretion were important, we would welcome your application.

We are looking for:

- Warmth with patients, including those who are anxious or unwell





- The ability to juggle competing demands without losing your composure, whether that is a ringing phone, an arriving patient and an urgent email all at once

- Genuine attention to detail. In a medical setting, accuracy carries real consequences, and it is important that nothing is overlooked.

- Initiative, and the ability to identify what needs doing without waiting to be asked

- Confidence working independently, together with the judgement to know when to seek guidance

- Sound computer literacy and a firm understanding of patient confidentiality

We use Gentu practice management software. Experience with Gentu is an advantage and will see you up to speed sooner, though we are happy to train the right person.

What we offer

- $35 to $40 per hour, negotiated according to experience

- Genuine flexibility three days each week, with hours arranged to suit you

- A Monday to Friday practice, with no weekend work and no on-call

- In office parking

- A small team in which your contribution is visible and valued

- The collegiality of a larger suite, as our rooms are shared with other physicians and their secretaries

- A newly created position within a growing practice, with scope to shape how it works

How to apply

We would like to welcome someone soon, though we are recruiting for the right fit rather than for speed. If you need to work out a notice period, that is entirely acceptable.

Please apply through Seek with your resume and a brief cover letter telling us a little about yourself and why the role appeals to you. Applications are reviewed by our practice manager and we will contact shortlisted candidates promptly.
