We’re looking for a Senior Medical Secretary – to join the team at The London Breast Institute to support two Breast Surgeons. Working closely with the Practice Manager, this opportunity would suit an experienced individual who is confident providing high‑level secretarial support within a specialist service and enjoys working with a high degree of autonomy.
In this senior role, you’ll take a lead in supporting the day‑to‑day running of the service. Working fully on site, you’ll manage clinic preparation, patient correspondence and complex enquiries, helping ensure patients receive timely, clear and professional communication throughout their care. Reporting into the Practice Manager, you’ll be a trusted point of contact within the service and play an important role in maintaining smooth and well‑organised clinics.
Above all else, we’re committed to the care and improvement of human life. It’s this guiding vision that influences everything we do at HCA UK. From the CEO to the colleagues on the floor we all have a part to play in delivering exceptional care to our patients. Other’s may think this is just a role in gynaecology, but to us, you’ll be part of a wider team with a unique sense of purpose, one that helps improve lives on a daily basis.
