Administrator | Community NHS Foundation Trust

Are you looking for a role where every day brings new challenges and the opportunity to change the lives of people in Sussex? Now is the perfect time to be part of our evolving urgent community response service. This is more that just a job – it’s a chance to be part of an innovative service, comprising admission avoidance and a general virtual ward service, all aiming to support patients in their own home rather than being admitted to a hospital.

The administrator role is essential, ensuring the resources are available for clinicians to carry out their role and supporting with administrative tasks on our system.

To support the team in the day‑to‑day running, tasks include: ordering PPE and consumables, recording data regarding the caseload and answering the phone; word processing reports and letters, including amending and tidying documents prepared by others, drafting routine correspondence for approval and taking formal minutes of meetings as required using software packages such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint; maintaining and updating IT and maintenance databases with any team issues;

keeping office systems up‑to‑date, devising and maintaining efficient filing, clerical and office systems, and providing general support within the team; helping with meetings organised within the team and writing up the notes; attending daily MDT meetings as admin support; receiving and sorting internal and external mail and dealing with each appropriately.
