Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 4 Team Administrator to join the Morden Recovery and Support Team. If you are passionate about impacting positively on the lives of people with severe and enduring mental illness in a community setting, then this could be the perfect job for you.
We regard the Administrator as the backbone of the team, so the successful candidate can expect a warm, supportive and encouraging work environment.
Morden RST works with working age adults between 18 to 75 years, who have experienced severe and enduring mental illness. The Morden Recovery and Support Team works collaboratively with clients, their carers and networks with the aim of minimising the impact of mental disorder has on their lives. The team is made of integrated health and social care professionals. We work in close partnership with GPs, Housing, Police and other key partners, including voluntary organisations.
Morden RST is a stable and cohesive team built on mutual trust, collaboration, teamwork and support. This largely explains our stability and very little or no turnover. Successful applicants will work as part of a Multidisciplinary Team and as part of a Hub of Administrators.
Previous applicants need not apply.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated employee who has the ability to work autonomously and within an Admin hub. You will be able to problem-solve independently, but who can also take direction from the Office Manager, and work as an integrated member of the team.
This essential role provides crucial support to the team in receiving and opening referrals. You will need to be able to prioritise your daily workload to ensure all correspondence, appointments, clinics and telephone calls are dealt with in a timely manner. Part of your role will be to assist the Team in monitoring performance related indicators via Dashboard to ensure RiO has up-to-date information. You will coordinate client lists for quarterly GP Liaison Meetings by extracting information from the Trust database. Attending monthly business meetings and minute taking is required.
The successful candidate will be able to sensitively, but confidently deal with clients who may be calling up in a psychiatric crisis, so a confident and empathic personality and telephone manner is vital. As you will also be dealing with major stakeholders i.e. GP surgeries, a professional manner is essential to continue to positively represent the team to the wider community.
We are Proud to Belong at South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust.
We have expert services, a rich history and a clear commitment to providing the best quality care for those with mental ill-health. The Care Quality Commission already rates our services as ‘good’ - we aspire to be ‘outstanding’.

We have built two brand new mental health facilities at Springfield University Hospital, which are amongst the best in the world. More developments are planned across our sites and services.
We are inclusive and diverse and strive to be actively anti racist. We want to attract people from all backgrounds and experiences to enrich the work we do together. We are proud to co-produce and involve our local communities in all that we do.
We offer flexible working, career development and a variety of benefits to enable a positive, welcoming environment in which our people and their careers can thrive.
