Doctor's assistant

Are you looking for a varied job and do you enjoy taking care of everything? As a doctor's assistant, no day is ever the same! You have just helped a patient with ear complaints over the phone, and immediately afterwards you arrange an appointment for a patient at the counter. While you are still busy, suddenly the emergency line rings. The GP has also appeared at your door, with a question. Bored? That doesn't happen at Aemstelwijck GP practice.

Your duties

As a doctor's assistant, you have a central role in supporting the GPs and keeping the daily practice running smoothly. You start the day by answering the phone, deciding whether someone needs an appointment or whether giving advice is enough. While the GP holds consultation hours, you and your fellow assistants divide the tasks. Today, you are responsible for receiving patients at the front desk and answering their questions. Your colleagues take up administrative tasks, such as processing referrals, repeat prescriptions and questions received via e-consult. They also call patients back with the results of tests and answer GPs' questions.

’In the afternoon, you hold your own surgery hours in which you perform medical procedures such as giving injections, blowing out ears and bandaging wounds. At the end of the day, you go home feeling good, because together with your colleagues you gave patients the care and attention they needed.

Your new workplace

Huisartsenpraktijk Aemstelwijck consists of four GP practices. You will work closely together with the regular GPs, junior GPs, somatic, mental health (including youth) and geriatric physicians and doctors' assistants. The team of doctors' assistants is experienced, so you have a lot of support around you. Are you at a loss for words? Then you can always turn to your colleagues with your questions! During a lunch walk or team-building activities, you can get to know your colleagues outside work, too.

The patients are very varied: from original inhabitants from Ouderkerk to young families from Amsterdam. This makes for a nice patient group with whom it is easy to work together. The practice is all about professional and safe care. There is a lot of attention to development, so you can do what makes you happy.

We want everyone to enjoy coming to work. That is why we provide variety and different tasks to keep your work fun and challenging. Flexibility, cooperation and a friendly atmosphere are paramount, and there is always room for further development, both in knowledge and skills.
