At Dispensed ,we are passionate about empowering individuals to reach their full potential by supporting better health outcomes. We believe that access to innovative and alternative therapies can transform lives.

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.

Share recurring patient questions and feedback to help improve the onboarding experience
