Medical Secretary

Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to develop the new Community Rehabilitation Team to support service users experiencing complex psychosis. The team will support service users who are ready to step down from inpatient facilities to support them in moving into the community. The aim of the team is to reduce the length of inpatient stay for service users from both acute and rehabilitation wards, incorporating least restrictive practice, the NICE guidelines for complex psychosis and the Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) national program.

We are looking to recruit a motivated and enthusiastic Medical Secretary to join this exciting endeavour.

The post holder will be flexible and use their own initiative to organise their workload dependent upon the priorities and requirements at that time. Sensitivity to people with mental health needs is essential in this role.

Although this is a Trust wide service covering the whole of the Pennine Care footprint, the team will be based at Laurence House, Birch Hill Hospital, Rochdale, and will operate within office hours.

Please be advised the office space is still to be decided and there will be a need to be flexible; we have office space in Stockport and Rochdale.
