Excellent communication skills are essential as you will be liaising with internal and external customers of the Charity such as the Care Quality Commission, Ministry of Justice, Solicitors, HM Prisons, First Tier Tribunal for Mental Health, Crown and County Courts, Hospital Managers, other Hospitals, patients and their relatives.
Knowledge of RIO, NHS Mail and Criminal Justice Secure Mail would be advantageous and knowledge of the Mental Health Act and Data Protection Act would also benefit the right individual, although training can be provided.
