Chorley, United Kingdom Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Are you an experienced Medical Secretary who enjoys working in a busy environment and would like to be part of a dynamic team supporting the Special Care Dentistry Service? You will be working on Mondays and Tuesdays, 16 hours a week, and be based at Chorley and South Ribble District General Hospital. You will be part of a team helping to improve our patients' engagement and experiences, and reduce our waiting lists for treatment.

Our Medical Secretaries provide a professional and comprehensive secretarial and administrative service. They support Consultants and their clinical team by ensuring the efficient channelling of communication between medical staff, GPs, patients, relatives, and teams.

You will have excellent organisational skills, be confident in your IT and communication skills, be able to exercise initiative and demonstrate a consistently high standard of professionalism, and be aware of the need for confidentiality and integrity.

These are challenging, yet exciting times for our hospitals as we move forward into the new collaborative NHS world in which our roles and relationships will take greater prominence as the NHS recovers from the Covid Pandemic. What will not change is our vision to always provide excellent care with compassion to our communities. Our ambition, success, identity, and values remain important in recruiting and retaining the best staff as well as developing and delivering excellent services.

Within the Surgery Directorate, we really value our Medical Secretaries, they play an important role in the day to day running of our clinical services, making sure that patient care is at the forefront of all we do. Within the Head and Neck Service, we provide care for cancer, urgent and routine patients in clinics and in theatres.

This is a very busy and varied role; no day is ever the same. As a Medical Secretary, on a typical day you will undertake various administrative duties, have regular contact with patients and all members of the clinical team, as well as ensuring the smooth running of the Special Care Dentistry Service, making sure our patients get the best possible care.

We are known as being a friendly and supportive team; this will be a varied and challenging role for someone with a passion for making a difference. If you have previous Medical Secretary experience, and are flexible in your approach, this role could be the one for you.

It is important that we get the right person so we are looking for someone who has the right behaviours, skills and willingness to learn.

At Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, we take pride in caring for our staff as well as our patients. We recognise that working in a busy environment requires help with a healthy work-life balance. We also believe in ensuring that our staff get the chance to reach their full potential when working with us, which is why we open lots of doors for career progression once you join our team. With us, the sky truly is the limit

We have 10000 fantastic people working hard to deliver quality services to our patients. Whatever your role, you help look after 370,000 people in our local area and give specialist care to 1.5 million people across Lancashire and Cumbria.

Working with us gives you the knowledge and sense of pride that every activity you do genuinely does make a difference to support our patients and staff, ensuring we keep thriving and delivering outstanding healthcare right across our local towns.

You will have access to varied development opportunities, learn new skills, meet fab people and do things you would never have done.

You will make an impact, be challenged to think differently, be bold and help innovate to keep improving things. Everything we do centres around patient care and enhancing their experience which means your role is pivotal and something really to be proud of.
