Senior Secretary

We are looking for a dynamic forward-thinking individual to lead a group of secretarial & administrative staff providing a cross boundary approach to secretarial support services within the Acute Hospital Trust.

You must be able to work as part of a team providing secretarial/clerical support to various clinicians and their supporting staff along with managing your administrative team. You need to be able to demonstrate you can also work independently. Whilst we do not expect that you will have had experience working in a hospital setting, if you have experience working in a Heath care setting this would be advantageous.

You will need to be able to demonstrate excellent interpersonal, verbal and written communications skills and be highly organised. You will also need to be able to demonstrate your excellent IT skills and your ability to plan, prioritise, manage your time and problem solve effectively.

All positions are based at Warwick Hospital working Wednesday to Friday and will involve a mixture of home and office-based work.

• To provide a specialised, comprehensive and confidential patient-centred clinical administration and secretarial service to Consultants and their teams in accordance with Departmental, Trust and National standards, policies and procedures.
• To act as a source of advice and guidance regarding the specialty.
• To co-ordinate the management of the elective and/or emergency pathways to include Cancer, Referral to Treatment Targets (RTT) and Choose & Book.
• To co-ordinate the delivery of a specialty specific single point of access for patients.

Come and join a Trust rated Outstanding by the CQC. South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust have been rated as outstanding following our latest inspection by the CQC and we are recruiting new staff to come and help us improve even further.

We provide services across Warwickshire and beyond ranging from Hospitals in Warwick, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Royal Leamington Spa and Shipston-on Stour to Community Services across the county. We are a progressive, expanding organisation with great ambition around improving quality, integrating pathways and delivering high levels of productivity.

Our values can be summed up in one sentence. We are ‘Trusted to provide safe, effective and compassionate care’. Throughout the recruitment process you will be asked to think about how you demonstrate these values and how they impact on your work. It doesn’t matter what role you do, whether it is patient facing or not, we are all working in the same way with our values at the core.
