Getting to know our receptionist supervisor, Teri
I joined Grant Chiropody and Podiatry as an apprentice, coming straight from school into the role of Receptionist and Podiatry Assistant. I will have worked for the company for 20yrs in September 2024. The years have flown by! I have seen many changes and celebrated many milestones throughout the years.
My job role is to assist both the podiatrist and patient in any way that is needed. My day to day duties include, patient administration, instrument sterilisation, making and amending appointments for patients, payment taking and general cleaning through out the day. As well as this, I oversee the other receptionists/podiatry assistants and our auxiliary.
I enjoy every aspect of my job as no two days are ever the same within the practice. I really like the interaction we have with our patients, hearing their family updates and what’s been happening with them. Our patients are as equally interested in us too. We have all become part of our own little community over the years. I’ve enjoyed seeing the business grow and all the changes that have taken place. I especially liked the renovations and expansions we have had over the past years. This has given us more clinical and staff space, which has been fantastic for everyone. I feel lucky to be part of a small team that work well together and consider each other as more than just colleagues.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy catching up with friends and family, this usually involves food and lots of it. I try to keep as fit as I can by running after my three year old, Mia, and walking my two dogs, Rocco and Rex. They would have me outdoors all day everyday given the chance.
