We are seeking a part time or full-time Administrative Assistant for our growing behavioral health Center in Cedar Knolls, NJ.
The candidate will be part of an administrative team responsible for the daily administrative operations and smooth-running of the Center, which is currently seeing patients in a hybrid manner. These include clinician support, managing the patient appointment schedules in a purposeful and effective manner and occasionally troubleshooting for patients having glitches connecting onto their online telehealth sessions. It is essential to be able to handle telephone calls of all types, including emergency calls as well as calls from prospective new patients.
Healthcare administrative background is preferred and a caring, empathic and compassionate approach with all our patients is mandatory. This position requires excellent organizational skills, IT competency, an ability to multi-task and a familiarity with, or an ability to quickly learn, medical terminology. Business administration and marketing/sales background is a plus.
The position requires an individual who can work individually as well as part of a team, in a fast-paced environment. Must be professional yet warm, reassuring and empathic, since our patients and their families are often struggling when they first contact our Center.
All interested, qualified candidates may reply with attached cover letter and resumé.
