4 months ago


Peterborough, United Kingdom North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Are you an experienced and ambitious secretary aiming to step into a new chapter of your career and combine your admin with your leadership skills?

We can offer you the best opportunity to achieve your goal by joining the Medicine Division team at North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust.

As a senior secretary, you will work closely with colleagues in providing an efficient and comprehensive secretarial support within the division, as well as patient administrative services in managing the patient pathways tracking them from referral to pathway completion.

You will have a working understanding of medical terminology and the systems we are using in our daily activities such as Careflow, ETrack, Ice, Clinic Manager and EPRO. You will demonstrate strong typing skills and a solid knowledge of the Microsoft Office package in particular, Excel.

Your previous experience in a leadership role will prove valuable as you will line manage a team of Medical Secretaries/Secretarial Assistants at Peterborough City Hospital, with occasional cover required at Hinchingbrooke Hospital.

This fast-paced position offers you the opportunity for career progression. We will provide you with a comprehensive training program enabling you to perform your duties at a high standard.

We are committed to ensure your personal and professional wellbeing by offering a series of benefits including flexible working options and career development courses.

As a senior medical secretary, you will manage the specialty administration workload, ensuring appropriate delegation of tasks to members of the specialty team and re-prioritisation when required. Your key stakeholders will be the patients and their relatives, consultants and members of the multidisciplinary teams, support and data services.

One of your main responsibilities will be coordinating the patient pathways ensuring that they are validated and accurate by assessing the recorded information received from consultants/teams, operational areas and departments, pre-assessment centres, wards, and other departments.

As part of your patient pathway coordinating duties, you will attend a Patient Tracker List meeting which discusses patients over 30 weeks on the Referral To Treatment, and a Rota meeting which discusses consultant clinics cancellations.

You will be the point of contact for enquiries ensuring that confidentiality is always maintained.

You will be responsible for line managing your team ensuring the training and support is provided and each team member is equipped with the right information and skills for an optimum performance. In addition, you will monitor and manage sickness absence ensuring the adequate cover during absence.

We are committed to ensure a work-life balance to all our staff by offering full time and part time roles, flexible working hours on a shift pattern to fit around your family life.

Benefits to you
- 27 days annual leave for new starters, rising to 29 days after five years of service and 33 days after 10 years of service, plus 8 Bank Holidays (pro-rata for part time staff);
- NHS Pension Scheme:

- Flexible working opportunities;
- Increased hourly rates for unsociable hours e.g. night shifts, weekends, bank holidays;
- Career development and training;
- Wellbeing support and activities;
- In-house physiotherapy Service;
- On-site canteens with subsidised meals;
