Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, adaptable and well-motivated administrator to provide a competent and efficient secretarial service to the Responsible Clinicians covering Bowman Low Secure Unit and to support the wider MDT within Bowman Low Secure Unit and the Centre for Mental Health & Justice where required.

Bowman currently has three responsible clinicians who a cover a third of the inpatient caseload each of our 12 bedded male Low SecureUnit.

These RC's include a Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, Approved Clinician Associate Specialist Doctor and Approved Clinician Consultant Forensic Psychologist.

The inpatient team works closely with the Specialist Community Forensic Team which promotes integrated working across our teams and provides a network of staff to liaise with.

You will be supporting a multidisciplinary team and will be involved with coordinating meetings, minute taking, audio typing letters, diary management, arranging appointments, making travel arrangements, maintaining electronic patient records onto appropriate systems and some general administrative work as required.

The post holder will work closely with the Ward Secretary and will be expected to cover in times of annual leave and/or sickness.

The post holder and the Ward Secretary will work jointly to provide a seamless administrative support to the team.

This role will be challenging and varied, but ultimately a rewarding role that will provide an opportunity, for the right person, to become a key member of the team.

A high degree of flexibility is required to meet the day-to-day challenges of the service whilst respecting the dignity, privacy, and confidentiality of each individual patient.

The post holders main base will be at Bowman Low Secure Unit which is within Bodmin Hospital, and the post holder will also be able to utilise office space at the CFMH&J base at Bodmin Police HQ.

The post holder will require police vetting for ID access and clearance to this building.

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.

Approximately 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.
