Location: 301 O'Connor Street, Ottawa, ON
Company: David Jordan Medicine Professional Corporation
Job description: Front Desk Administrator/Floater
Please only apply if you are available for these shifts.
Monday to Thursday: 6:30am - 3:00pm, 8:00am - 4:30pm (latest 5:15pm)
Friday: 8:00am - 12:00pm
IDEAL CANDIDATE:
We are looking for a candidate who is curious and motivated to learn and grow. You are organized, punctual, reliable and detail-oriented. You can work independently but with keen awareness of your team members' inter-related and inter-dependent tasks. You are a problem solver who is not conflict addicted. You have excellent verbal and written communication skills in English. French and other languages are considered an asset. You are comfortable working in a medical office where the referred patients are diverse and the practice unique and complex.
This is not an entry level job.
OVERVIEW:
We employ two Front Desk Administrators (FDAs); one Surgical Coordinator (SC); and one Accounting/Office Manager (OM). In addition, we contract with a number of different RN’s and anesthetists for surgical days. In addition, we often have ophthalmology residents from time to time, and a yearly fellow. One FDA works Monday - Friday. The other FDA works Monday-Thursday (occasional Fridays if needed).
The FDA is usually the first contact person for patients, other physicians and their assistants, the Hospitals, family of patients, etc. As such, the FDA has an important “ambassador” role, in projecting professional courtesy, concern, diplomacy and respect for confidentiality.
In addition, this role carries far more responsibility, judgment, independence, discretion and consequence for error, than the job title would suggest. This is not viewed as an entry level position. It is viewed as one of four, equally crucial and Professional positions within our office.
All positions ultimately need to develop an understanding of the other positions to provide assistance and back-up, when necessary. The other positions are SC and OM.
All Staff need to be aware of applicable legislation respecting confidentiality, including the Regulated Health Professions Act and Regulations and the Freedom of Personal Information and Privacy Act (FIPPA). All staff need to be able to recognize the medical/legal implications of chart accuracy, confidentiality and maintenance.
