Part Time – Approximately 30 Hours Per Week
Central Wokingham, Berkshire
£32,000–£36,000 Pro Rata DOE (£25,263–£28,421 actual salary depending on hours and experience)
For 30 years, our established independent healthcare practice has been part of the Wokingham community, helping people improve their health, wellbeing and quality of life through highly personalised care.
As we celebrate our 30th anniversary this year, we are entering an exciting new phase of development — evolving beyond a traditional reception and administration model into a more relationship-centred, high-touch patient experience.
We are looking for a warm, proactive and emotionally intelligent Patient Experience & Practice Co-ordinator to work closely with the clinic owner and wider team in helping shape this next chapter of the practice. This role evolves beyond the traditional reception and administrative function into a more relationship-focused and patient-centred position. Traditional NHS and medical approaches are not what we are about. Perhaps you have experience in first class airlines, boutique hotels, high end health suites. We are looking to set standards other practices aspire to.
We are looking for somebody who enjoys taking ownership, contributing ideas, improving systems and helping create an exceptional patient experience from first contact onwards.
We are particularly interested in people who enjoy helping organisations evolve and who take pride in contributing ideas, improving systems and creating exceptional human experiences. A proven record in creating and evolving bespoke customer experiences will set you apart in this application process.
The Role
This role combines:
- a key focus will be about evaluating current patient experience and evolving the touch points to create a more bespoke, concierge, high value experience
- front-of-house leadership
- relationship management

- initiative and practice development
You will play an important role in both the day-to-day patient experience and the ongoing development of the practice. You will become a trusted part of the team and work closely with the clinic owner to help improve systems, strengthen patient relationships and support the continued evolution of the practice. The role will be able to support the growth of our multi-disciplinary practice setting it apart as a people-centred provider of mind-body healthcare and traditional MSK physio and manual therapies.
This is an ideal opportunity for the right person to develop and make this role their own. The role is well suited to a compassionate individual who enjoys meaningful work, values human connection and wants to contribute to a thoughtful and progressive healthcare environment.
