The role is full-time role, working for a growing Independent Occupational Therapy Practice within the Centre of Hook, Hampshire. Reporting into our Client Services Manager and working closely with our Clinical Services team and our customers.
Introduction
The role would ideally suit an experienced administrator who has a working knowledge of the healthcare sector, although knowledge of this industry would be an advantage, it is not essential. The role is to primarily provide support to our Client Services Manager, through overseeing a caseload of clients and managing incoming enquiries, to escalating complex enquiries or cases to a clinician when required.
The post holder will advise potential clients who are enquiring about our services and provide quotations for the required service. It is the responsibility of the Client Coordinator to discuss the options and ultimately convert the enquiry into a case, then managing that case ensuring it is progressing smoothly, liaising with the relevant therapists, referrers and clients as needed by telephone and email. This will be achieved under the guidance of the Client Services Manager while cases are active. The primary goal of the Client coordinator is to make the client feel like they are in safe hands and give them total confidence and comfort in the knowledge that they are under our care.
Fundamental to this role is the character and temperament of the individual. They will be expected to take responsibility for supporting the Client Managers in the management of their caseload, which will take a high level of organisation, efficiency and sense of responsibility for it to run smoothly. A solution focused mindset is important, to ensure we go the extra mile to deliver excellent customer services to our clients.
