Main duties of the job

If you are ambitious and strive for professional excellence then this is an excellent opportunity to be part of our service. Our plans are to support further improvement in our standard of patient care and smooth and efficient running of our services at the point of delivery of patient care.

We are looking for highly motivated individuals who may have previously worked within a busy environment. You will need to demonstrate IT literacy, to include computerised booking software as well as document uploads.

It will be important that you have good attention to detail to provide a high quality data entry system. The successful applicant will also work with the clinicians and support the administrative lead in maintaining records and data for reports for the team. Good communication and telephone experience is essential, as is computer literacy as the majority of our referral pathways are via E-referrals.
