Job overview:

The post holder will work with the Information Governance Team and teams across the organisation to provide a comprehensive administrative service for the provision of our freedom of information and environmental information regulations service.

The post holder will be required to manage and prioritise their day-to-day workload and use their initiative, without direct supervision, for routine tasks.

This will require good organisational skills and the ability to work to tight deadlines and with frequent interruptions.

The post will act as a first point of contact for internal and external stakeholders.

The post holder will be required to work with a degree of flexibility to enable attendance at, and support to, committee meetings and take on any other additional tasks.

Proposed interview date: 24th May 2023

Main duties of the job:

This role will be responsible for the administration of the Freedom of Information and Environmental Information Regulations processes and the delivery of activities related to the Information Governance office.

This role involves the challenge of meeting deadlines on a daily basis and co-ordinating and preparing FOI responses, to the quality and standards laid out in Trust policy, and supporting the approval process, escalating for further support when required.

Working for our organisation:

We're an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people's physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.

We are a people organisation and people matter to us.

As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.

Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.

We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals.

Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.

Just over 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use our services.
