Description

We are a small, friendly team.

We pride ourselves on maintaining close and constructive working relationships with other parts of NHS Somerset and our provider organisations.

We deal with organisations that range in size from the small community groups through to the large acute hospital foundation trusts - third sector, independents and NHS.

As well as being a key support within the team you will be a valuable link to provider organisations and gain experience on how the contractual arrangements and relationships work in practice.

This will particularly be the case for some of our palliative and end of life services (hospices and nursing night support) where you will be the main point of contact.

Part of the role will also be to offer broad support across the team to cover specific workstreams, for example, procurements.

We are looking for somebody with confidence, some experience and knowledge of NHS or other contracts and ideally, a person who has some understanding of the workings of the NHS.

You will be somebody with good relationship management and communication skills.

You will have excellent organisational ability and a sound, working knowledge of MS office packages such as Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, etc., alongside excellent communication skills both written, face-to-face, over the telephone and via video call.

This is a permanent part-time post of 25 hours per week, based at NHS Somerset HQ - Wynford House, Lufton Way, Yeovil, Somerset, BA22 8HR.
