Administration Clerk-Saint Marys Vaccination Team

Band 2

Job overview

Saint Mary's Vaccination Team are looking to recruit an Administration Clerk to provide administration support to the Maternity Vaccination Program.

The program offers on-site Flu, Covid-19, Whooping Cough and RSV vaccinations to pregnant women at 6 locations across Manchester including Fairfield General Hospital, Lance Burn Health Centre, North Manchester General Hospital,  Saint Mary's Hospital-Oxford Road,  Trafford General Hospital and Wythenshawe Hospital. 

 You will work closely with the vaccination midwives and nurses to ensure all women are offered vaccinations at timely intervals throughout their pregnancy.

The ideal candidate will have a good eye for detail,  possess strong interpersonal skills and a “can do” approach. You must be proficient in IT and have the ability to problem solve and enjoy working both independently and as part of a team.

Main duties of the job

From your base site at Saint Mary's Hospital Oxford Road, you will act as the point of contact for patients accessing the vaccination service  responding to both telephone and email enquiries from patients and staff. You will also be responsible for scheduling vaccination appointments and ensure all appointments are completed with an attend status at the end of each clinic.

Successful candidates must have excellent IT skills and experience working in a customer service environment as you will be expected to use trust IT systems and demonstrate high levels of interpersonal skills to facilitate the delivery of a patient focused service.
