Role Responsibility
This post will be based within our Clinical Admin team, who support the Clinical Team. The main responsibilities of this role are:
1. Generating and distributing prescriptions.
2. Dealing with prescription queries and liaising with pharmacies.
3. Booking appointments.
4. Preparing correspondence to GPs.
5. Maintaining accurate records.
6. Providing administrative support to the Clinical Team and the wider service.
As a Clinical Administrator within the service, you may be required to cover other administrative roles as necessary. This role is based at our Oldham & Rochdale offices.

The Ideal Candidate
We're looking for a confident communicator who can prioritise a varied workload and provide wide-ranging administrative support. Comfortable talking to service users, you should be customer-focused with the ability to maintain confidentiality, gather management information, and meet deadlines under pressure. You must be a superb organiser and supportive team player with keen attention to detail, impressive administration skills, and a good understanding of Microsoft Office, Excel, and spreadsheets.
You do not necessarily need experience in the substance use sector, but you'll show that you can work best in a team demonstrating a proven track record in administration, preferably within a clinical setting, although this is not necessary. Your time management, organisational, IT, and data analysis skills are just as important as your communication and people skills. Dynamic and driven, you are someone with a naturally positive disposition and will fit in really well within a team.
