You will provide secretarial and administrative support to the multi-disciplinary team including Consultant Psychotherapist, Service manager, psychotherapists and an occupational therapist.

In this varied role you will have direct patient contact and need to have excellent customer service skills.

You will be highly organised, able to work accurately and systematically, and prioritise your own workload in response to service needs.

Your hours of work will be either 8:45am - 4.45pm or 9am - 5pm, Monday - Friday.

You will be proficient at audio and copy typing, and have advanced skills in the use of Microsoft Office.

You will utilise these skills in managing diaries, booking appointments, maintaining accurate clinical records, updating patient databases, taking formal meeting minutes and storing information for swift retrieval when needed.

An excellent telephone manner with experience of dealing with distressed or unhappy customers is essential as you will be the front door of the service.

You will be responsible for ordering supplies, receipting deliveries and resolving any invoicing discrepancies using the NHS procurement system.
