Are you someone who has great people and interpersonal skills? Are you looking for a role where you can make a difference every day? Do you have a good eye for detail? At NHS West Sussex Talking Therapies - Long Term Conditions we are looking for a full-time Team Administrator to join our team on a 12-month fixed-term contract.   Working days are Monday to Friday and the role is office based, 9.00 to 5.00 with occasional 8.00 to 4.00.  The role will require some travel between the Worthing and Horsham offices. Some flexibility can be given around permanent office base, i.e. Worthing or Horsham.

This is a busy, pressured but rewarding role. The successful candidate will need to be computer literate, able to demonstrate excellent organisational and communication skills. You will often be the first person a patient will have contact with when referring into our service, so a background working in a customer service or a patient facing role would be ideal.

Working in our friendly admin team, you’ll be in regular contact with our clinicians and their patients who are in need of support with the emotional demands of living with a long term health condition.  You’ll also be engaged in service development for administrative processes helping to maximise efficiency and ensure good patient experience and practice.

You will be primarily responsible for registering patient referrals into the service- referrals are received online, via telephone or via other health professionals. You will be booking appointments onto our patient database, dealing with patient enquiries and supporting our wider clinical teams.

We're looking for a team player who can help us provide an effective and robust administrative service; to be able to work unsupervised and prioritise workload on a day to day basis, demonstrating initiative and flexibility liaising with other team members to ensure continuity of service.  Competent and accurate IT skills, including the use of Microsoft packages, are a must, as is a pleasant telephone manner and the ability to work to tight deadlines, remaining calm under pressure.
