We are seeking a committed and organised individual to join our new Integrated Community Services Admin Shared Service team, where every task you complete helps improve the experience and outcomes of our patients.

In this role, you will support the smooth running of services by managing enquiries, processing referrals, maintaining accurate records, and coordinating communication. You’ll often be the first point of contact, providing a calm, professional, and compassionate response — particularly when patients or families may be distressed or in need of clear guidance.

You will play an essential role in enabling clinical teams to focus on delivering excellent care by ensuring they have timely, accurate information and reliable administrative support. Working collaboratively with colleagues, you’ll help shape this evolving service and contribute to improvements that place patient needs at the centre of everything we do.

A positive, flexible approach and a genuine commitment to supporting high-quality patient care are crucial for this role.

Please note this role will not be eligible for sponsorship as it doesn't meet the minimum salary requirements for a skilled worker visa, therefore you must have appropriate right to work in the UK or your application will not be progressed to the next stage of Recruitment.

• Act as a first point of contact for patient, carer, and service enquiries, providing a calm, compassionate and professional response at all times.
• Process referrals and incoming information accurately and promptly to ensure patients move smoothly through the system.
• Maintain high-quality records using agreed systems, ensuring information is up to date, secure, and accessible to clinical teams when needed.
• Support the coordination of patient appointments, and service activities.
• Handle sensitive information with discretion, maintaining confidentiality and following organisational policies.
• Work closely with clinical and operational colleagues to ensure administrative processes enable timely, safe, and effective patient care.
• Contribute to the development and improvement of the new shared service, supporting the implementation of consistent processes and a high-quality administrative offer.
• Support service promotion and communication, ensuring clear and patient-focused messaging.
• Provide flexible team support, stepping in across different functions to maintain a smooth and responsive service.
