Job description

An opportunity has arisen for an experienced and proactive Medical PA to join our busy and dynamic team in Clinical Administration.

The post is a secondment/fixed term contract to cover maternity leave for 12 months.

You must be highly motivated and committed to provide high-quality administrative and PA support to multiple consultants and their clinical teams in the Orthopaedic Department.

A good working knowledge of Microsoft Office packages, RSA III or equivalent typing, and knowledge of medical terminology are essential for this post. Knowledge of the 18-week patient pathway would be desirable but not essential, as training will be given.

As the role involves dealing with the public and professionals, you must be able to demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills. You will have a flexible and professional approach.

You will have proven organisational skills and be able to work on your own initiative as well as part of a team.

The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA) provides hospital and integrated health and social care services to over one million people living across Greater Manchester. Our 20,000 colleagues care for people in hospital and in the community, working across Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, and Salford, to save and improve lives.

As a large NHS trust, we are committed to enhancing the health of our local population by delivering consistently high standards of care and working closely with local authorities and key partners. We believe in our power and potential to make a difference and we’re always looking for people who demonstrate our three core values - care, appreciate, and inspire – to join our team.

In return, we can offer you a job role with purpose and flexibility. The size and scale of the NCA means we can provide more challenge and opportunities so your career can always be moving in the right direction. By joining us, you can also access a competitive benefits package, including a fantastic annual leave allowance, flexible working opportunities, and protected hours for health and wellbeing activities, helping you to achieve more personal downtime and a better work-life balance.
