Doctor's assistant

Are you looking for a job where you do something different every day, have direct contact with patients and get to put your medical and organisational skills to good use – all within a friendly team with clear lines of communication and fixed working hours? Then the role of doctor’s assistant at De Cirkel GP Practice is definitely for you. You’ll be the point of contact during consultation hours, carry out medical procedures, organise everything behind the scenes and ensure patients receive the right care. That’s how you make a difference.

This is what your work looks like

As a doctor's assistant, you are the point of contact for patients. You schedule appointments, answer phone calls and help patients by quickly assessing their care needs and determining what follow-up action is required. Whether it's a worried young mother or an elderly man who has fallen with his walker, you know how to reassure patients and guide them forward with confidence. Meanwhile, you ensure that the files are completely accurate and that everything is ready for the consultation hour. During the consultation hour, you support the doctor where necessary and ensure that everything runs smoothly.

However, you do more than just administration and planning; you like to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in. You perform various medical procedures during your own consultation hours, such as measuring blood pressure, giving injections, removing stitches, syringing ears and performing urine tests. And if a colleague needs extra help, you step in where necessary and actively contribute to the team.

Working with our team

At De Cirkel GP Practice, there’s a friendly and energetic atmosphere, where fun and professionalism go hand in hand. There’s always room for a joke, for sharing successes and celebrating special moments. The team makes the most of everyone’s talents; do you have a particular skill or passion? If so, we’ll work together to see how we can best put that to use in your role. Since we switched to a new GP practice management system, we’ve been working together even more effectively, sharing tips and tricks, and brainstorming ways to make our work processes smarter and easier. This creates a cheerful, energetic working atmosphere where it’s a pleasure to work every day – professionally and enjoyably.
