We're looking for a

n
This is a part-time leadership role, with 30 hours per week dedicated to managing and developing the team.
n
You'll bring experience leading a team in a busy service environment, confidence coaching people and setting clear expectations, and strong ownership and follow-through. Healthcare experience is welcome, but isn't essential.

Role Allocation n
The position's 30 hours per week are dedicated to leadership, people management, training, operational oversight and improvement.
n
The Manager is additional to regular front-desk and administration coverage and is not routinely rostered to perform those duties. They may provide temporary coverage when required and when another A-team member cannot reasonably cover the gap.

Where coverage demands repeatedly interrupt management responsibilities, the Manager is expected to identify the underlying issue and work with the line manager to resolve it.

Success means the Patient Access and Administration function operates reliably under the Manager's leadership, with clear ownership, capable people and consistent follow-through.




n
n

n
Rosters, leave and absences are managed to maintain appropriate service coverage.
n
Required administration work is completed accurately and on time, with transparent ownership and effective follow-up.
n
Enquiries, referrals, cancellations and available appointment capacity are managed consistently to support patient access and continuity of care.
n
Patients can access appropriate care easily and confidently, and appropriate enquiries and referrals convert reliably into bookings.
n
The A-team demonstrates sound financial understanding: payments are entered correctly, settlements are accurate, and outstanding accounts are followed up and managed consistently.
n
Patient service and facility presentation consistently meet agreed O-health standards.
n
Recurring problems are addressed at their cause, and routine matters are resolved within the team without unnecessary escalation.
n
The Manager brings clear priorities, performance insights and proposed solutions to management discussions.
n
n
These are ongoing expectations of the role. Initial onboarding milestones,



improvement priorities and measurable targets will be agreed separately and reviewed regularly.

For the Patient Access & Administration Manager, this means creating an administration team that combines genuine human connection with high standards, professionalism, accuracy and accountability.
