Go back Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust

The closing date is 08 March 2026

Whilst we welcome all applications from all suitable candidates, unfortunately, we will not be offering sponsorship for this role.

We are looking for a motivated individual to join our Medical Secretarial team within the Adult Community Mental Health Services based in Ware.

Our Administrators are pivotal to our work in providing first line contact to people who call us, and in providing a comprehensive, professional and effective administrative support to our team.

You will have the ability to work well within a team environment and be able to manage and prioritise workload, being able to work on their own initiative with minimal supervision.

In return, we offer structured supervision and access to training and development as part of your own personal development and support plan. A friendly and supportive team environment.

The job role involves providing comprehensive, professional, and effective secretarial and administrative support to the Adult Community Mental Health Service. You will be responsible for answering the telephone, note taking, sending letters, updating, and setting up systems for administration, records, on-going database management and daily email management.

This is a busy and varied role so good interpersonal skills are required. As some of the work will involve speaking to service users on the telephone, you must display a considerable degree of tact, possess mature judgement and maintain a calm, friendly and efficient manner.

The right person will be able to work with a degree of autonomy and apply a high degree of confidentiality to all of their work.
