Clinical Team Administrator

The closing date is 27 July 2025

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a conscientious and supportive administrator to join our busy and dedicated working age Adult Mental Health team, based on Danby ward, in the Ayckbourn Unit at Cross Lane Hospital in Scarborough.

Cross Lane is an acute mental health hospital providing services and delivering care to the population of Scarborough and surrounding areas.

You must have the Right to Work in the UK in order to be successfully appointed to this role. Please note, this role does not meet the required eligibility criteria for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker visa and therefore the Trust is unable to offer sponsorship for this particular role.

Main duties of the job

Whilst having previous experience in an administrative role is essential, NHS or other health care experience is not.

We are looking for someone who feels comfortable multi-tasking in a busy environment, someone who can communicate confidently, build strong working relationships with a variety of people, can prioritise their workload and work to deadlines.

With a starting salary of £24,625 pro rata, per annum, a generous NHS pension scheme, a fantastic annual leave package (27 days annual leave plus bank holidays) and access to other NHS staff benefits and discounts, it is fair to say that this job has a lot to offer. And, it's not just the NHS pay scale and benefits that we offer that make joining our organisation an excellent choice, there are many training and development opportunities available, giving you the opportunity for career progression.

All staff have regular 1-2-1s, quarterly supervision meetings and an annual appraisal, which provides lots of opportunity for discussion around achievements, challenges and aspirations.

Staff recognition is very important to us; we work closely with colleagues to support development, the staff voice, and to recognise teams and individuals through our Greatix and Star Award schemes; highlighting the outstanding work being done every day.

We recognise that Administrators are professionals and are a valuable asset to our organisation. We understand that they have a key role in the support and delivery of our services and that their contribution helps us in achieving our aim of consistently providing safe and high quality care for our service users. The kind of care we would want for ourselves and for our loved ones.
