A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a conscientious and dynamic administrator to join the close-knit and supportive Integrated Community Teams.
The Integrated Community Team is based in North Moor House and provides community mental health services for people aged 18 - 65 years old and living in Hambleton and Richmondshire rural district.
This facility is on the outskirts of Northallerton and is easily accessible by car and bicycle with on-site parking.
As a member of this ever-growing and friendly team, you will work in an open plan office area of high activity; no two days are the same. If you are looking for a new challenge, enjoy variety in your work, and are looking to be part of a team striving to make a difference, we welcome your application for this role.
Main duties of the job
Whilst having previous experience in an administrative role is essential, NHS or other health care experience is not. We are looking for individuals with a passion for people, customer service experience, extensive organisational skills, an interest in working in a health care setting, and a 'can do' attitude.
This role is at the heart of a dedicated and caring team and is pivotal in the day-to-day operations. As part of the administration team, you will work closely with the medical secretaries, Consultants, and Nursing colleagues, supporting them in ensuring that high standards are maintained and they have everything they need to provide the best possible care for the service users.
We are looking for someone who feels comfortable multi-tasking in a busy environment, can communicate confidently, is thorough and takes pride in their work, can build strong working relationships with a variety of people, can prioritise their workload, and work to deadlines.
About us
With a starting salary of £24,071 pro rata per annum, a generous NHS pension scheme, a fantastic annual leave package (27 days annual leave plus bank holidays), and access to other NHS staff benefits and discounts, this job has a lot to offer. There are many training and development opportunities available, giving you the opportunity for career progression.
All staff have regular 1-2-1s, quarterly supervision meetings, and an annual appraisal, which provides lots of opportunity for discussion around achievements, challenges, and aspirations.
Staff recognition is very important to us; we work closely with colleagues to support development, the staff voice, and to recognise teams and individuals through our Greatix and Star Award schemes, highlighting the outstanding work being done every day.
We recognise that Administrators are professionals and are a valuable asset to our organisation. We understand that they have a key role in the support and delivery of our services and that their contribution helps us in achieving our aim of consistently providing safe and high-quality care for our service users.
