- Collaborate with nursing and scientific teams to align schedules, theatre lists and documentation.
- Oversee front‑of‑house service recovery; resolve clinic‑level complaints and escalate systemic issues.
- Monitor billing discipline (quotes, receipting, banking), investigate variances and complete first‑line reconciliations.
- Ensure SOP adherence, accurate records, privacy compliance and completion of daily/weekly checks.
- Lead clinic team meetings and handovers to support communication and collaboration.
- Conduct onboarding, buddying and on‑the‑job training; track competencies and identify development needs.
- Use data and patient feedback to improve access, wait times and information clarity.

- Strong rostering, coordination and problem‑solving skills with the ability to balance patient experience and operational efficiency.
- Confident communication skills and the ability to translate clinical priorities into clear plans for Patient Services Administrators.
- Experience in billing controls, reconciliation, documentation quality and privacy compliance, with strong attention to detail.
