Are you organised, people-focused, and eager to make a difference in patient care? We're looking for a proactive Outpatient Bookings Administrator to join our team and help us deliver a seamless experience for patients and healthcare staff.

Location - Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast
Salary - £12:75 per hour

What's involved?
You'll play a key part in our busy Outpatients team, handling patient and GP queries, managing appointments, and keeping our clinics running smoothly using the ENCOMPASS system.
Your main duties will include:

  • Handling incoming referral letters, registering and processing them accurately.
  • Booking outpatient appointments and monitoring waiting lists to ensure patients are seen according to clinical priority.
  • Generating reports and analysing data to maximise clinic capacity.
  • Liaising closely with clinical and admin colleagues to resolve queries, track missing information or escalate issues quickly.
  • Ensuring clear, courteous communication with patients, families, GPs, and colleagues-whether by phone, letter, or in person.
  • Supporting patients with additional needs, including arranging interpreters and accessible communications.
  • Proactively spotting problems-like incorrect bookings or missing patient details-and quickly sorting them out.
  • Helping with admin tasks like scanning documents or notifying patients about appointment changes.

What you'll need:

  • Good attention to detail and the ability to work well with IT systems.
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
  • A supportive attitude-ready to help patients, families, and colleagues.
  • Flexibility to adapt in a busy, changing environment.

Why join us?
We offer a friendly, supportive team environment where your admin skills directly help patients access the care they need. You'll build NHS experience, work with dedicated professionals, and know that every day you're making a real difference.
