The MSK CATS service at Wrightington Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are recruiting an enthusiastic individual to join our well-established team as a secretary / administrative assistant.
17.5 hours/week on a Monday, Tuesday and Friday
The role will be based at Leigh Health Centre, although on occasion there may be a requirement to work in community settings across the Wigan and Leigh borough. Therefore, you must be able to travel across the Trust independently.
A Standard DBS check will be obtained during pre-employment checks.
This post involves contact with patients and families face to face within a community setting. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the post holder may come in to contact with people who have COVID-19, although the Trust provides PPE and takes all reasonable steps to minimise risk.
You will be expected to provide a comprehensive and efficient secretarial service for the MSK CATS service working within a well-established administrative team. You must be able to work as part of a team as well as use your own initiative and have the ability to prioritise your own workload. Good communication skills are required.
You must have excellent organisational skills, sound computer skills and RSA Level 2 typing and word processing (or equivalent) qualifications/skills.
Duties include typing clinic letters using The BigHand audiotyping software, and experience of using this system or other audiotyping software is desirable. Knowledge of medical terminology and experience of working in a clinical environment is essential. This role will also involve reception duties. The department uses SystmOne and occasionally HIS. As such, a working understanding of these electronic patient records would be an advantage.
