About the Company
Step into a workplace where compassion and professionalism go hand in hand. We’re a well-established medical center located in Dubai, known in the community for our patient-first approach and seamless care.

Continuous learning, mutual respect, and a drive to support every patient who walks through our doors: those are the values we live and breathe every day.
What You’ll Be Doing

- Assisting with billing and payment collection, ensuring transactions are handled professionally
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Prior experience working as a receptionist in a hospital, medical center, or clinic (this one’s non-negotiable)
- Hands-on experience dealing with medical insurance — from paperwork to claim approvals and everything in between
- Strong interpersonal skills: you can make people feel at ease, even on a busy day
- Comfort with medical record systems and Microsoft Office applications
- Good spoken and written English; Arabic fluency is a big plus
Nice-to-Haves:
- Previous work experience in Dubai or the UAE healthcare sector
- Familiarity with medical billing software
- Ability to juggle priorities if things get hectic (because sometimes, they do!)
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
