The Opportunity

We are seeking a full-time, 40-hour Medical Assistant to support the practice onsite Monday through Friday. Our operating hours are 8:00am-5:00pm, and the shifts are staggered. The address in Portsmouth will be the primary location, but there may be occasional rotating coverage as needed in our office at 10 Members Way, Dover, NH.

As true partners to our nurses and providers, our Medical Assistants get the opportunity to work autonomously to the top of their education/certification while also functioning as part of the collaborative team.

Responsibilities include:

• Ensuring efficient patient flow through the office

• Performing clinically appropriate tasks related to patient panel management (phone calls, test results, prescription refill, coordination of care, etc.)

• Maintaining neat, clean, and safe patient care areas

• Interacting with patients and their families in a professional, friendly manner consistent with their needs.

We do our best to keep all employees in their assigned practices and locations; however, you may also be asked to float to other departments in the WHP system when appropriate and needed during times of staffing shortages/other extenuating circumstances for cross-coverage purposes and to ensure adequate coverage and support.
