The post holder will play a key role in the day to day administration for the Paediatric Palliative Care team both at Staffordshire’s Children’s Hospital at Royal Stoke (SCHRS) and The Dougie Mac Children's Services team and will have the ability to work on their own initiative to identify and problem-solve issues as they arise. The role involves the provision of a full admin service to the Paediatric Palliative Care Service across both sites and the post-holder will play a pivotal role in the co-ordination of activities within the teams. A key element of this role will be the liaison with Speciality Nurses and Doctors, Social Care Staff, health colleagues in other departments at SCHRS and the Dougie Mac.
