Ward Receptionists are responsible for ensuring patients are accurately and efficiently admitted and discharged from the ward. Applicants must have excellent organisational skills and be happy to work on a busy reception dealing with patients/relatives/doctors/nurses queries face to face and over the telephone.

To provide a comprehensive clerical co-ordination service and to receive patients across the divisions wards. To ensure that patients and visitors receive a friendly, customer focussed and efficient service. The post involves receiving and handling information which is confidential and therefore the post holder must maintain strict confidentiality at all times.

We are a values-led organisation and have embedded our Proud to Care Values: leading with care, openness, integrity, and an inclusive culture, at the heart of everything we do, ensuring we provide for patients with the best possible care and making our Trust a great place for our people to work. Our ambition is to provide consistently exceptional care for our patients and to achieve an "Outstanding" rating with the CQC and we developed our Royal Academy of Improvement to ensure everyone can find the help and support they need to drive improvements.

We are firmly rooted in the founding principles of the NHS, and we have built on this through our "Leading the Chesterfield Way" framework. We know people have a life and responsibilities outside of work and offer flexibility and a raft of support for your physical and mental wellbeing.
