Want to join the Village team?
Front of house isn't a waiting room for a real job. It's one of the most important jobs we have.
At The Village Medical Practice Harrisdale, we know that patient experience doesn't start in the consulting room. It starts the moment someone walks through the door — or picks up the phone. That moment belongs to you.
Our administration team sets the tone for everything that follows. We take that seriously, and we look for people who do too.
What We're Looking For
You don't need a medical background, although it is strongly preferred. You don't need years of experience in a GP practice. What you do need is harder to teach:
Genuine warmth — the kind that makes people feel welcome, not processed
The ability to stay calm, kind, and competent when things get busy
Strong attention to detail, because in a medical setting, details matter
A service mindset — you take pride in making things smooth for patients and colleagues
The kind of reliability that means people don't have to wonder if you're on top of things
Experience in healthcare administration is a definite plus. But attitude, character, and a genuine investment in doing the job well will always matter more to us than a well worn CV.
What It's Like to Work Here
The Village is a well-run, busy practice with a strong and personal team culture. You'll be part of a front of house and admin team that works closely together, supported by clear systems and a management team that actually listens - our regular admin team meetings are an opportunity to speak to our GP owners directly, and help work with them to make the Village even better.
It's not always easy work — patients can be anxious, days can be demanding, coffees don’t make themselves, and the pace doesn't always let up. But it's meaningful work. You'll see the difference you make, in real time, with real people.
We invest in our admin team. We want people to grow with us, take on more responsibility over time, and feel genuinely proud of where they work.
An Honest Word
We're selective about who joins our team at every level. Our front desk represents the Village — and we take that seriously.
If you're looking for an easy job where no one asks much of you, we're probably not the right fit. If you want to be part of something you're proud of, come and tell us about yourself.
