We are looking for enthusiastic, hard-working staff members to work in our busy Central Booking Service (CBS) within the Children and Families Division.

The main duties for the post holder will be to provide support to the Central Booking Service and Operational Team Leader in order to provide a prompt and professional appointment booking and call management service to parents/carers/service users. The post holders will work as part of the CBS Team to ensure that calls to Health Visiting Services & School Nursing from parents are routed to the most appropriate clinicians and that patient appointments are booked with parents/carers over the telephone and also on the RIO system in line with the Central Booking Service processes.

The post holder will also ensure that there is prompt and accurate inputting of the clinical activity data onto the RIO system.

The Central Booking Service (CBS) is often the first contact a parent/carer will have with the Children & Families Division and may be regarded as the ‘shop window’ for the Community Paediatric, Inclusion Services, ( Hub)
Health Visiting Services/School Nursing and Educational Health and Care (EHC). The post holder will be required to provide excellent customer service to all service users ensuring that they are polite and courteous at all times.

The post holder will be responsible for the management of their own workload and will be expected to develop and maintain up-to-date knowledge of all services included within the Central Booking Service (CBS) which will enable them to deal with any service related queries. This is a multi-skilled and multi-tasked role, and therefore the post holder will be expected to rotate with other staff members to cover all areas within the CBS on a regular basis.
