Band 4

West London NHS Trust  provides a full range of mental health, community  and physical healthcare services for children, adults and older people living in the London boroughs of Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham and Hounslow.

Job overview

Thank you for your interest in applying for this B4 Team Administrator position within our Ealing Community Rehabilitation Service (CRS).  This is a full time and permanent position and attracts 15% inner London weighting.

West London NHS Trust’s Community Rehabilitation Services has been operational for approx. 3 years and has recently gone through a period of review. We are the process of implementing the findings of the review and the Team Administrator will have a key role in supporting the required changes. The emphasis of the changes is to ensure that the service meets and exceeds the current quality standards for community rehab for psychosis. To this end, we require a technically proficient person who is as comfortable with working with data as they with more regular administrative duties. 

Main duties of the job

These are exciting times for community rehabilitation services and we would welcome applications from those who would like to be part of this journey. What we are looking for are highly motivated and enthusiastic individuals who are excited by service development. The successful applicant will be supported by senior and professional management, as well as by a highly engaged team who are keen to continue to make positive changes. Previous experience of working within an administrative role is as important as commitment, drive and creativity in meeting the challenges for the team as we move into the future. 

Does this sound like you? Would you like to develop your skills in developing and supporting mental health services and encouraging our service users to achieve living with greater independence? If so, I would encourage you to apply.   

Thank you for your interest in this role and taking the time to consider applying. 

I wish you every success with your application and look forward to hearing from you.
