Medical Secretary at Eye Clinic Västerbotten (Fixed-term)

Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equal welfare and for ensuring that research and innovation yield results.

Eye Clinic Västerbotten provides specialist care for eye diseases in Västerbotten and the northern region. We are located at the county's three hospitals in Umeå, Skellefteå, and Lycksele. We are a university clinic with high patient volumes, caring for patients of all ages, from newborns upwards. We continuously work on development and improvement initiatives to achieve high quality and satisfied patients. Approximately 120 employees work here, including ophthalmologists, eye nurses, operating room nurses, medical secretaries, nursing assistants, orthoptists, and optometrists. Both experienced staff and new employees and students generally thrive with us.

Within the clinic's writing section in Umeå, a dedicated team works with currently one section leader, 7 medical secretaries, and an executive assistant of mixed ages. We believe a good working environment is crucial, which is why we have ongoing work environment initiatives to strengthen our team. You will join a group that works closely together, both within the secretarial group and with other professional categories. We have an open and accommodating climate, and having fun at work is a priority for us.

This is a fixed-term position for 6 months with a good chance of continuation. We would prefer for you to be able to start work after the summer.

Job Responsibilities

As a medical secretary with us, you provide important service and enable interventions that impact many. You function as a central hub regarding administrative work at the clinic. You will work closely with other staff categories and have a varied role since the clinic consists of many different sections.

Your duties will include medical documentation, mail handling, and booking and calling in patients. Telephone appointments may also be part of the role. Patient contact and service are recurring elements in the job, and you will participate in quality and improvement work within the clinic.

You will receive an individual introduction program where you, at a steady pace, will gain insight into the various parts and routines of the work.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are trained as a medical secretary or alternatively a healthcare administrator. If you have previous administrative experience, this can be an advantage.

You have a positive and service-oriented attitude and enjoy providing support and administrative assistance to others. Since you will have many contact points and work closely with others, you need to be perceptive and have good collaboration skills. Since we focus heavily on quality and improvement work, it is important that you find changes developmental and have an interest in daily development work. Both tasks and work pace can vary, so to thrive with us, you should enjoy variety and have the ability to take initiative.
