Medical Secretary +/- Medical Assistant (M/F)

Position to be filled at the start of the 2026 academic year (September or October), full-time, in an individual medical practice in the municipality of St Gérand.

General practitioner, in an individual private practice, established in the municipality for almost 3 years, I already work with a qualified medical assistant who works full-time. I welcome medical students, particularly interns (7th to 9th year of general medicine studies) and soon a Junior Doctor (10th year) who will consult alone. We have 3 consultation rooms in the current practice, brand new, opened last April.

We receive patients by appointment, and currently operate with an online calendar and a virtual tele-secretariat which has its limits... We are therefore looking to complete our small team, improve patient reception and appointment organization, for a qualified medical secretary with previous experience in the field.

This advertisement is for you if you are a dynamic, motivated, organized, rigorous person, who enjoys contact with patients and healthcare providers, knows how to manage unforeseen events and has skills in:

• SECRETARIAT: appropriate, empathetic communication, both face-to-face and over the phone; scheduling appointments with adaptation of the timeframe to the reason for visit; managing the schedule and adapting to the physical (and psychological) availability of practitioners; appropriate contact with local health professionals (nurses, laboratories, hospital, paramedics,...), equipment suppliers, substitutes and students; managing a contact directory, using appropriate office tools...
• COMPUTERIZED WORK: basic knowledge of IT security, management of digital documents: scan/ import /file /modify /find, word processing and spreadsheets, creation of posters or patient files, maintenance of the practice website, videoconference connection (tele-consultation), maintenance and upkeep of IT equipment, ...
• HEALTH INSURANCE operations: knowledge of the main ratings of the nomenclature used in general medicine, establishment of FSE, tele-transmission of FSE, knowledge of the various CERFA used in general medicine, ...
• MANAGEMENT and ACCOUNTING of a private practice: collection of consultation fees, calculation of end-of-day receipts, filing of invoices...
• HEALTH: knowledge of frequent pathologies in general medicine and especially pathologies requiring immediate medical attention; if possible, training in first aid gestures (bleeding, fainting).

You must hold a medical secretarial diploma and have at least one year of experience in a private medical practice to have acquired these skills and be comfortable in these functions. You must also be able to speak English (not necessarily in medical terms but in terms of welcoming English-speaking patients—several times a month—or foreigners). You will also be required to perform cleaning tasks for the practice premises, in collaboration with the medical assistant.

Depending on the evolution of the practice's activity, there is a possibility to further diversify the position by also performing medical assistant work, such as settling the patient in the consultation room, taking vital signs, preparing examination equipment, ...
