Private Medical Secretary Jobs and Medical Admin Recruitment
Private medical secretary jobs sit at the centre of a consultant’s practice. Medical secretaries type clinic letters, manage diaries, handle patient enquiries and keep billing on track, often for several consultants at once. Bernoullis recruits medical secretaries, medical administrators and clinic administrators for consultants, private hospitals and clinics, and checks accuracy, discretion and references before you meet anyone.

Medical Secretary Jobs London UK and Across the Country
Medical secretaries are needed wherever consultants work. Many NHS medical secretary posts are advertised at band 3 or band 4, which from 1 April 2026 pays £25,760 to £31,157 a year in England, according to NHS Employers. Private medical secretary jobs set their own pay, and experienced secretaries who know insurer billing are in demand.
London has a large concentration of private practice, so medical secretary jobs London UK searches are common. We recruit across the country as well, including remote roles where consultants share a secretary between sites.
Good medical secretaries are rarely out of work for long. We reach them through our network and referrals, then explain your practice honestly so they can decide quickly. For job seekers, that means medical administrative positions and private medical secretary jobs that match your specialty, your typing and your travel.

How to Hire a Medical Secretary: A Practical Guide
Start with the specialty and workload. A secretary for an orthopaedic surgeon needs different terminology from one supporting a dermatologist. Note the number of consultants, the clinic volume and the systems you use.
Next, decide what experience matters most. Some practices need private billing and insurer experience from day one. Others can train a strong healthcare administrator who knows the terminology.
Then be clear about pay, hours and location. Many secretaries now expect some remote working, so say what is possible up front.
Finally, test the skills. A short audio typing test with real terminology shows accuracy far better than a CV.
What we assess
- Audio typing speed and accuracy
- Medical terminology for your specialty
- Private billing and insurer experience
- Confidentiality and discretion
- Diary and clinic management
- References from consultants
