Appley Bridge, United Kingdom Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We currently have an opportunity for a suitably experienced secretary to join our team of Clinical Support Secretaries within our Medical Secretariat.

The available position is for 25 hours per week, working within the Orthopaedic department, based at our Wrightington Site. There is potential, after a period of training, for agile working to be considered.

This role is ideal for those wishing to pursue a career as a medical secretary, offering opportunities to gain knowledge and experience across multiple specialties to facilitate progression to a higher level.

This interesting & varied role requires the ability to work well on your own initiative whilst being committed to teamwork to ensure work is completed to meet Trust targets. You must possess the ability to manage a variety of tasks & prioritise these accordingly whilst working under pressure. Good communication skills and the ability to deal with confidential & sensitive issues in a professional manner are essential.

You will be working in a busy environment within the ‘virtual’ Clinical Secretary pool within a small team to designated specialties. You will be providing an efficient audio typing service using our Digital Dictation System, together with our existing Patient Information Systems. You will support our Consultant PAs, ensuring that patient and GP correspondence is typed and dispatched within a timely manner.

To be successful in this role you will need to be qualified to RSA III or equivalent or have a proven experience of audio-typing and providing a secretarial / audio-typing service. You will also need to be able to type accurately at speeds of around 40 - 50 words per minute. Having knowledge of medical terminology and / or an AMSPAR qualification will be a distinct advantage. Previous secretarial experience within a hospital or other medical environment would also be a distinct advantage.

Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are the proud providers of acute hospital and community services to the people of the Wigan Borough and surrounding areas. At WWL, we value our staff believing that ‘happy staff, makes for happy patients’. We have a recognised track record in staff engagement, and living our values ‘the WWL Way’.

- Audio typing using the Digital Dictation System, photocopying and the composition of letters.
