About the role:
As an Administrator at Barnsley Recovery Steps your role will be instrumental in ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of our service on a day-to-day basis.

You will also, when required, be the welcoming face of our service in your role as receptionist and will be a friendly and professional first point of contact.
Your regular work hours are from Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. However, there is an occasional late shift expectation on Thursdays, typically once a month which is shared with the team. Please note that there may be instances where this requirement occurs more frequently to accommodate the needs of the service.

Clinical Administration experience desirable: Generating and managing prescriptions, dealing with prescription queries, and preparing correspondence for GPs.
SystmOne Experience: SystmOne experience is desirable but not essential
General Administration Experience: Previous experience in a healthcare environment is desirable. This experience will provide you with a foundational understanding of the specific needs and challenges of our service.
Excellent Organisational Skills: You have the ability to keep a variety of administrative tasks organised and on track. We're looking for someone who can juggle multiple responsibilities with precision.
Strong Communication: Clear and effective communication is key in this role. Whether you're answering inquiries, coordinating meetings, or taking minutes, you should be an adept communicator.
Data Management Proficiency: Experience with computerised recording systems, databases, and software like Excel.
Reception experience: you will be a warm, calm, and welcoming first point of contact for all clients and visitors to Barnsley Recovery Steps.
