What’s Kaleido Health Centre?

Kaleido Health Centre is a brand-new, unique, multi-disciplinary health service—the first of its kind in Australia. Our mission is to provide high-quality, inclusive, person-centred, integrated health care specifically for sexuality and gender-diverse (LGBTQ+) individuals in NSW.

Kaleido offers a dynamic healthcare environment that includes both primary care and specialist services. Our offerings encompass general practice, mental health, sexual health, gender-affirming care, drug health, child and family services, and more. The design of our services is based on the needs expressed by our LGBTQ+ communities, ensuring informed and non-judgmental care provided by general practitioners, allied health professionals, and specialists, focusing on areas with the highest healthcare needs.

Ok, so what’s the role?

The Senior Receptionist at Kaleido Health Centre plays a critical role in delivering exceptional customer service and administrative support for our clinical healthcare services. You will be the first point of contact for patients, ensuring a welcoming and efficient experience for all, with a strong commitment to creating an inclusive and respectful space. You will:

• Lead and manage the reception team, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations and a high standard of customer service.
• Provide exceptional front-line service, greeting patients and visitors in a friendly, professional, and inclusive manner.
• Manage patient appointments, including booking, rescheduling, and cancellations, ensuring smooth clinic operations for the LGBTQ+ community and beyond.
• Assist with the intake and registration process, ensuring all patient information is accurately recorded and updated, while maintaining privacy and confidentiality.
• Support clinical staff by preparing patient records, managing correspondence, and assisting with administrative tasks, ensuring LGBTQ+ inclusive practices are followed.
• Collaborate with other team members to ensure efficient patient flow and the delivery of high-quality LGBTQ+ healthcare services.

Who are we looking for?
