We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
At UHS we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.
At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
We are looking for someone who can use their own initiative, be able to prioritise their own workload, and work under pressure. You will have good IT skills and some previous admin experience, preferably in a healthcare setting.
You will have good communication skills, face to face and over the telephone. You will be able to work independently and as part of a team, have a good eye for detail and excellent organisational skills.
You will be friendly and approachable, whilst also maintaining a high level of confidentiality.
