Are you a dedicated and compassionate Administrator? Do you want the chance to help shape a new and genuinely innovative service for the women of Kent and Medway?
You will be providing direct admin support to members of the clinical team. Continuous Professional Development is an expectation within this role.
We are an adaptive, cross-functional service. Whilst being assigned to directly support a department, you will be providing support (as a team) throughout the Directorate.
Teamwork is an essential part of this role, good time-keeping, and the ability to keep to deadlines and adapt your way of working is vital.
As a support service, we adapt to the needs of the service; we are regularly reviewing ways of working and optimising our internal processes. We need someone who can think on their feet and adapt to day-to-day circumstances as they arrive.
If this sounds like the opportunity you have been waiting for, come and join our diverse and compassionate team committed to delivering excellent care and support for service users and their loved ones.
This role provides direct secretarial and administrative support to our in-patient care, PIC Liaison Service, Main Reception, Management, Consultant Psychiatrist, Lead clinicians and the wider team.
The successful candidate will work closely with the teams providing:
• Up-to-date information to the teams, production of reports and summaries within designated timescales and supervision of Admin assistants
• Maintaining, organising and sourcing stock
• Minute taking for requested meetings
• Creation and maintenance of spreadsheets and internal forms within designated timescales
• Maintaining people management and HR related records
• Diary and caseload management
• Generic team mailbox monitoring and maintenance and any other administrative duties requested
This is not an exhaustive list and will continuously adapt to meet the needs of the service.
We are the Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust. We care for the mental health and wellbeing of people across Kent and Medway. Our teams support adults with a wide range of mental health needs. Because we cover the whole county and both hospital and community settings, we can make care more joined up and easier to access for the 1.8 million people of Kent and Medway. Rated ‘Good’ by the CQC, we care for over 2,000 people in our hospitals and 54,000 in the community each year.
Our vision is simple: We are here to help communities not just live with mental illness, but live well. It’s why we’re passionate about working with communities to make mental health care better for everyone. And everything we do is guided by our values caring, inclusive, curious and confident.
Join us - if you share our passion for better mental health care and want to be part of a team that's doing well together.
