I am a British trained Osteopath running a bespoke manipulative therapy practice. I am extremely passionate and invested in the care I offer my clients but an administrative mess! I would like to hire a PA, or an administrative assistant to help me set up and organise systems in my practice so I can focus on providing my core skills and the work I love! Prior or current experience in a healthcare office would be greatly appreciated. I require assistance from somebody who knows how to set up a digital calendar system, who can help me and my practice with systemisation, organisation and time management. I need support to figure out the systems that need to be in place ( and could design those for me) so that I can stream line the back end and aspects of my practice that don’t involve direct patient care but include the services I offer. I also need some technological education to get the systems in place and keep them running… I am good at providing care of my patients but not so good at running the small business that it has grown into… I think a larger time investment might be needed by the right candidate in the beginning of his/her employment but once the systems are in place less time investment from you would be necessary… Thank you for considering this role!
