Typing and administrative tasks associated with patient care
Supporting medical secretaries and following strict confidentiality protocols.
The Medical Secretarial Service employs over 160 staff supporting the Trust consultants and their teams in 22 specialities with administrative and secretarial functions. The secretarial service is fundamental and forms the foundation for the support of all clinical activity.
The role can be demanding at times, however, our friendly teams thrive on working hard and supporting each other to fulfil the job role.
Currently we also have to manage physical patient health records so you need to be fit enough to lift up to 10kg - this is essential requirement for the role.
Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is now one of the largest in the country, with a workforce of approximately 15,000 who serve a population of 1.2 million people.
We work together, and in conjunction with MSE Health and Care Partnership, to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients in a compassionate way, and provide a respectful, but vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.
From facilities through to consultant specialists we want to be the best, to achieve this we need to recruit not just those who are the finest in their field but also those who have the potential to be. Yes, experience is important but so is outlook – if you are dynamic, forward-thinking and enthusiastic we want you to join us.
We not only offer you a good working environment with flexible working opportunities, but also the opportunity to develop your career with access to appropriate training for your job and the support to succeed and progress.
