The closing date is 19 October 2026

Are you a secretary, or PA? Perhaps you work in a role with complex admin, or you have completed further education and looking for a role to get you into Healthcare.

We have part time and full time roles that come with some great benefits including a very generous holiday allowance, a brilliant pension and the opportunity to work with some great people. There is a wide range of support for staff covering a broad range of subjects such as child care, health and fitness and mental health, and financially supported schemes for travel such as cycle to work and discounted bus tickets. We can offer some great flexibility on working hours and working patterns and full training and mentoring is available if required.

In a different role currently and think you have skills that can transfer? We can offer a range of fabulous training including opportunities that start you in a support role with a fast track training programme to allow you to progress, through to apprenticeships that will take you all the way through to be able to obtain a degree. We would welcome applications for cover full time or part time or job share.

No VISA sponsorship available for this role, and previous candidates need not apply.

Main duties of the job

Support Consultants and their teams in all aspects of the administrative management of patient care including all clinical correspondence.

Act as the liaison between all parties involved in the patient care, following strict confidentiality protocols. Currently we also have to manage physical patient health records so you need to be fit enough to lift up to 10kg - this is an essential requirement for the role.

The Medical Secretarial Service employs over 160 staff supporting the Trust consultants and their teams in 22 specialities with administrative and secretarial functions. The secretarial service is fundamental and forms the foundation for the support of all clinical activity. The role can be demanding at times, however, our friendly teams thrive on working hard and supporting each other to fulfil the job role.

About us

Our ambition is to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and well being of our patients, and provide a vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.

We aim to make the most of our skills and experiences so we can become the best we can be. As one organisation we will recruit the finest and retain more specialist staff due to more employment opportunities across our Trust.

Please be aware that we reserve the right to close the vacancy early should a high number of applications be received. Unfortunately, there is no Visa Sponsorship available for this role.
