Client Care Assistant

As a Client Care Assistant (CCA) you will be the first point of contact for client phone calls and visits and will be responsible for delivering exceptional care, always there to clients, patients, and colleagues.

This is a front‑of‑house, receptionist‑based role and is not a progressive position, making it ideal for someone who enjoys client interaction and thrives in a consistent role.

The successful candidates will be highly organized, able to manage a busy workload, and remain calm and efficient under pressure. Strong communication and teamwork skills are essential.

The working hours will be Monday, Thursday and Friday 8.30am‑7pm with a 30 minute unpaid lunch break.

There will also be a requirement to work 1 in 10 weekends at the Alfreton 24HR practice on a Saturday and Sunday.
