Lour Road Group Practice is a busy, well-established GP surgery serving the Forfar community. We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Administrative Assistant to join our friendly and supportive Practice team. 

This post is offered on a 6-month fixed-term basis initially, with the intention to extend subject to a successful period of mutual evaluation. It’s important to us that this role is the right fit for both the Practice and the successful applicant. 

This is a key patient-facing role, providing essential administrative support to ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the Practice. You will work closely with colleagues across reception and back-office functions, supporting both patients and clinical staff. 

We pride ourselves on being a supportive, collaborative workplace where staff feel valued. While General Practice can be fast paced, we work hard to maintain a positive team culture, offering good support, structured training, and opportunities to develop skills.

  • Greeting patients and managing reception enquiries 

  • Handling telephone calls, appointment requests and messages for clinical staff

  • Is organised, reliable and able to manage competing priorities 

  • Is comfortable working in a busy, patient-facing environment 

  • Has basic IT skills and is willing to learn new systems 

  • Works well both independently and as part of a team 

Previous experience in healthcare or General Practice is desirable but not essential. More important is a positive attitude, willingness to learn, and commitment to providing high-quality service to patients. 

Why join Lour Road Group Practice? 

  • Supportive and welcoming team environment 

  • Established Practice with experienced colleagues 

  • Opportunities for training and development 

  • A role where your contribution genuinely makes a difference 

  • A workplace that values professionalism, respect and teamwork 

  • Competitive salary with excellent pension package 

If you are looking for a rewarding role within a caring and collaborative Practice and, would value joining a team that supports one another, we would be delighted to hear from you.
