If you enjoy helping people, are comfortable working in a busy medical environment, and take pride in keeping things organized and running smoothly, we would love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Medical Office Assistant, you will be an important part of both the patient experience and the day-to-day operation of the clinic. Your responsibilities will include:

• Welcoming and checking in patients in a friendly and professional manner
• Scheduling appointments and managing the clinic calendar
• Answering phone calls and responding to patient questions
• Maintaining accurate and confidential patient records
• Updating patient information and documentation as required
• Coordinating referrals to specialists, diagnostic facilities, and other healthcare providers
• Managing incoming and outgoing medical documents and correspondence
• Supporting physicians and other medical staff with administrative tasks
• Helping maintain an organized, efficient, and professional clinic environment
• Assisting with other administrative duties as needed

• The ability to multitask and prioritize in a busy environment
• Confidence using computers and learning new software
• Experience with electronic medical record (EMR) systems
• Familiarity with medical terminology and medical office procedures
• The ability to handle confidential and sensitive patient information appropriately
• The ability to work independently while also being a supportive member of the team

Previous experience working in a medical office is an asset. Experience with medical billing, insurance processes, or referrals is also an asset.

A Position That Can Grow With You

This is an initially part-time position with the goal of transitioning to full-time as the practice and role grow.

We would particularly like to meet candidates who are looking for stability and a longer-term opportunity. For the right person, we hope this position can develop into an important role within the practice with increased hours and responsibilities over time.

Why Join Us?

You'll have the opportunity to work in a professional healthcare environment where your work directly contributes to better patient experiences and a smoothly running medical practice.

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys helping patients, and wants to build a lasting role as part of our team.
