Affinity Care is recruiting for two part-time receptionist posts at its GP practices in Bradford, with applications closing on 18 November 2026. The permanent roles, advertised through NHS Jobs, pay £12.37 to £13.11 an hour.

The two vacancies are based across Sunnybank Medical Centre on Town Gate in Wyke and Cowgill Surgery on Thornaby Drive in Clayton. The first vacancy is for 24.5 hours a week, working Monday and Friday from 8am to 6.30pm and Saturday from 8.45am to 1.15pm. The second vacancy is for 22.25 hours a week, working Monday from 8am to 1.30pm, Tuesday from 1pm to 8pm and Thursday from 7.45am to 6.30pm. Staff will be required to work across both sites.

As a key member of the Patient Services team, the receptionists will run the front-of-house service, greeting patients and visitors and handling queries in person and by phone. Duties include booking appointments, dealing with repeat prescriptions, ordering patient transport including emergency ambulances, and signposting patients to the most appropriate service. The role also involves supporting clinicians during clinics, providing a chaperoning service when requested, and keeping patient information strictly confidential.

Affinity Care is a primary care network covering more than 64,000 patients across seven GP practices and eight sites in the Bradford area. The network describes its model as GP-led, family-orientated general practice tailored to local needs, and says its practices are highly accredited training practices and level three research-ready sites. The advert says the team is friendly, enthusiastic and hard working, with opportunities for career progression and support for staff who show capability, enthusiasm and commitment.

Applicants need reception experience in general practice or the NHS, experience of working in a patient-focused environment, and GCSE English language at grade C or above, or an equivalent qualification. Strong written and verbal communication skills, competent IT use, and the ability to deal confidently and courteously with people in person and on the telephone are listed as essential, along with the ability to work flexibly as part of a team and to prioritise work under pressure. Experience of the SystemOne clinical system and an NVQ level 2 or 3 in customer service are listed as desirable.

The benefits listed in the advert include five weeks of annual leave pro rata for part-time hours, a birthday holiday, a well-being day and an NHS pension. The post is subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act.

The same two practices are also advertising a reception team leader post, paying £14.76 an hour, which was posted on the same day as the receptionist vacancies. The receptionist advert was posted on 30 October 2026 under reference A1863-26-0052, and applications should be made through NHS Jobs before the 18 November deadline. Candidates should read the full advert and person specification before applying, as the advert may close early if enough applications are received.
