Team Administrator, Community Rehabilitation Service

NHS AfC:
Band 4

Come and join us

We’re looking for people who share our values of compassion, accountability and optimism to help us provide high quality care for the patients, carers, families and communities we serve. We specialise in NHS mental health and learning disability services and we’re proud to make a difference every day.

At SPFT we put people first. We’ll do everything possible to help you feel respected, valued and included. You’ll have opportunities to learn, grow and gain new experiences to support your career, with access to lifelong learning and professional development.

We actively promote flexible working and understand how important work life balance is, especially in healthcare. Whether it’s part time hours, hybrid working or flexible start and finish times, we’ll explore what works for you and the role.

We recognise that AI is becoming part of daily life and you may choose to use it to help prepare your application. We welcome innovation but ask that anything you submit reflects your own abilities, experience and voice. AI can support how you describe your skills and experience, but it should never replace your own words as we want to get to know you.

We’re shaping a workplace where ideas are encouraged, technology supports you and everyone has a voice in how we improve. If that sounds like the kind of organisation you want to be part of, we’d love to hear from you.

The Sussex Community Rehabilitation Pathway offers both short- and long-term community-based rehabilitation of individuals with severe and enduring mental health difficulties, focusing on improving quality of life, social inclusion, and meaningful recovery. We take a whole-systems, person-centred approach grounded in NICE guidance. We are able to offer flexible working hours and hybrid working both at home and in the office, depending on the needs of the service.

We’re seeking an experienced Team Administrator to oversee the day-to-day running of our administrative function for a 22.5 hours (3 days per week) post. In this key role, you will manage office systems, support doctors and other members of staff in a PA role, handle data and reporting as well as supporting with documenting meetings, and ensure smooth communication within the team.

You’ll also act as a central point of contact, supporting the clinical team and helping deliver high-quality, client-focused care.

What you’ll bring:

• Strong organisational and leadership skills
• Experience managing office systems
• A proactive, professional approach to supporting healthcare services

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real impact within a dedicated mental health team.

The Trust provides mental health and learning disability care for all ages across Sussex and for children and young people in Hampshire.
