About this role

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will be:
● Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
● Proactive and able to work independently without constant supervision
● Comfortable managing multiple inboxes and calendars
● An excellent written and verbal communicator
● Confident communicating directly with patients and clients
● Professional, friendly, and personable
● Comfortable handling confidential information
● Able to prioritise tasks and recognise when something requires escalation
● Adaptable and willing to take on new responsibilities as the role develops

Preferred Experience

Experience in any of the following would be highly beneficial:
● Executive or Personal Assistance
● Medical or dental administration
● Patient coordination or medical reception
● Healthcare customer service
● Managing multiple email accounts
● Appointment scheduling
● Practice administration
● Marketing or website management
Dental or broader healthcare experience is a strong advantage, but not essential. Training
and support will be provided where required.

Language & Communication Requirements

Because this role involves communicating directly with patients, strong spoken and written
English is essential.
We’re specifically looking for someone who can communicate naturally and professionally over
the phone and via email, with clear, easily understood spoken English.

The initial requirement is approximately 20 hours per week, ideally spread across four days at
around five hours per day.
The preferred working window is: 3:00 PM – 8:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time

This is particularly important because the dental practice is closed during these hours and
receives patient enquiries after the clinic closes.

There may also be a requirement for one weekend day per week, depending on the
candidate's availability and the needs of the practice.

There is potential for the position to increase to 40 hours per week as the successful candidate
takes on additional responsibilities
