About the role
About The Role
The Initial Care Call Assistant is responsible for making the first meaningful connection with patients after they sign up with Dispensed. You’ll speak with patients to understand where they are in their journey, help them navigate the next steps, and make sure they have everything they need to progress towards their consultation and treatment.
This is a patient-facing healthcare support role rather than a clinical position. You don’t need to be a nurse or clinician, but experience working in a healthcare or clinic environment would be highly regarded.
You’ll receive training to review relevant information from a patient’s Summary Care Record (SCR) and use this, alongside information provided by the patient, to support their onboarding journey. You’ll work across a range of digital tools and systems, so being tech-savvy, adaptable, and comfortable picking up new platforms quickly is important.
What You'll Own
Make outbound initial care calls to new patients, introduce the Dispensed care journey, and explain what to expect
Build rapport with patients, answer general questions, and provide clear guidance on next steps
Identify and help resolve practical barriers preventing patients from progressing through onboarding
Review relevant information in the Summary Care Record (SCR) following training and flag anything requiring clinical review
Support patients with outstanding onboarding requirements and initial appointment scheduling
Accurately record patient interactions, outcomes, and follow-up actions in the CRM
Navigate multiple digital systems and tools confidently, learning new platforms quickly
Escalate clinical, sensitive, or complex patient matters to the appropriate team
Work closely with Customer Experience and Clinical teams to support a smooth patient journey
Share recurring patient questions and feedback to help improve the onboarding experience
What You’ll Need
Previous experience in healthcare, a clinic, pharmacy, medical administration, or another patient-facing environment
Strong communication skills and confidence speaking with patients over the phone
A warm, patient-first approach with strong listening and interpersonal skills
Tech-savvy and comfortable learning new systems and tools quickly
Highly organised, reliable, and detail-oriented
Strong written communication and accurate record-keeping skills
Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
Understanding of patient privacy and confidentiality
Able to recognise when an issue requires escalation to the clinical team
Nice to have: Experience with SCRs, healthcare systems, or CRMs such as HubSpot or Pipedrive. Training will be provided where required.
