Cape Radiology, a leading radiology practice in Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs, is looking for a Medical Receptionist for its Diep River practice. This is a permanent position, and the advert lists medical aid, pension and bonus benefits.
About the company and the work
Cape Radiology (caperadiology.co.za) provides radiology services in Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs. As the medical receptionist, you will be the first point of contact for patients arriving for imaging appointments: welcoming them, managing bookings and paperwork, handling the switchboard and cash, and keeping patient records accurate. It is a front-desk role where professionalism and attention to detail matter, because patients are often anxious and the practice runs on precise scheduling.
Two points in the advert need care. First, the advert header prints a salary of R1 000.00 per month (negotiable), which looks like a placeholder figure rather than a realistic salary for this role, so the salary field on this page is left blank — confirm the actual remuneration with the employer before you apply. Second, the advert body gives a closing date of 6 November 2026, while the advert header says applications close on 29 December 2026; treat 6 November 2026 as the safer deadline and confirm the closing date in the original advert.
Role details
The receptionist handles the daily flow of a busy radiology practice: receiving patients, capturing data, operating the switchboard, handling cash, and supporting the clinical team with administrative tasks. You must be able to work weekends and shifts as per the roster. The advert reference is copy-2396501.
Requirements
- Grade 12 certificate — essential.
- A relevant post–Grade 12 qualification — advantageous.
- A minimum of 3 years’ medical reception experience.
- Experience in private healthcare — advantageous.
- Radiology feeing and ICD-10 coding — advantageous.
- Skills in organisation, English language, computer literacy, data capturing, switchboard operation and cash handling.
- Able to multi-task, work under pressure and prioritise, with strong interpersonal skills.
- Personal attributes: professional, excellent communication skills, highly responsible, analytical, self-assured, self-motivated and proactive, with meticulous attention to detail.
Where to find and apply safely
Apply through the original Careers24 advert linked from this page. The advert itself asks applicants to email a detailed CV to [email protected]. Never pay a fee to apply, and only use the contact details shown in the original advert.
Practical tips
Highlight your three or more years of medical reception experience first, and name the practice systems you have used, especially any radiology feeing or ICD-10 coding work. Mention your comfort with weekend and shift rosters, and give a brief example of handling a busy front desk under pressure, since the advert stresses multi-tasking and prioritisation. Keep your CV detailed, as the advert specifically requests a detailed CV.
How the process works
Applications go to the practice by email, and only applicants who meet the requirements will be considered. If you are shortlisted, expect the practice to verify your experience and possibly discuss your availability for weekend and shift work before an offer is made.
Important information
This page is informational only and is not the employer. Confirm the salary, the closing date and all other details in the original advert before you apply, since the advert contains the conflicting dates and the placeholder-looking salary figure noted above.
