Clinical Team Administrator

The closing date is 29 October 2026

The Team Administrator plays a vital role in supporting the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Crisis Team by providing comprehensive administrative and clerical support to ensure the efficient delivery of high-quality patient care. Working within a fast-paced and sensitive healthcare environment, the post holder is responsible for coordinating administrative processes, helping to manage referrals and supporting clinical staff in the day-to-day operation of the service.

The Team Administrator acts as a key point of contact for service users, families, carers, internal departments, and external agencies, ensuring effective communication and the timely exchange of information. The role requires a high level of organisation, attention to detail, confidentiality, and the ability to work under pressure while maintaining professionalism and compassion when dealing with vulnerable young people and their families.

Whilst having previous experience in an administrative role is essential, NHS or other health care experience is not.

We are looking for someone who feels comfortable multi-tasking in a busy environment, can communicate confidently, is thorough and takes pride in their work, can build strong working relationships with a variety of people, can prioritise their workload and work to deadlines.

• Liaise professionally with young people, families, carers, schools, social care, and healthcare professionals.
