Job description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Team Administrator to join our Children and Young People's Mental Health Service (CYPMH) within the Weymouth and Portland CAMHS Team. This is a varied and rewarding role providing high-quality administrative, secretarial and reception support to a busy multidisciplinary clinical team, helping to ensure children, young people and families receive timely and effective care.

CYPMH Dorset is entering an exciting period of growth, with new investment enabling us to enhance our services in line with Thrive principles. This role will evolve as we develop, beginning with supporting existing teams from a temporary base during the transition. This is a fantastic opportunity to build skills, influence new initiatives and grow professionally within a supportive and forward-thinking service.

We are looking for adaptable, positive individuals who are eager to help shape our future and thrive in a dynamic, evolving environment.

Please note visa sponsorship for this role is unfortunately not available. Ensure you hold valid right to work in the UK and will not require sponsorship if successful.

As part of our administration team, you will provide efficient administrative, secretarial and reception support, acting as a key point of contact for children, young people, families, carers and professionals. Duties will include managing appointments, processing referrals, maintaining electronic records and databases, typing clinical correspondence, supporting meetings and providing reception cover.

You will have experience working in an administrative or office environment, excellent communication and organisational skills, strong IT skills and a professional, flexible approach to work. You will understand the importance of confidentiality, be able to manage competing priorities and work effectively both independently and as part of a team. Previous NHS experience and knowledge of electronic patient record systems would be advantageous.

Join us and play an important role in supporting children, young people and families while contributing to the future development of mental health services across Dorset.

At Dorset HealthCare we’re on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services. We’re a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here – it’s one of the reasons the CQC rated us ‘outstanding’ in 2019. It’s also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference. Whether you’re looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.

Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people.

We’re all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity.

We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.

Working with us you’ll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don’t know. And you’ll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion and expertise in all we do.
