In order to deliver a modernised service that has patient care and communication at its heart, we need people with excellent IT skills and a desire to improve the patient experience.

You will work under the direction of the Administration Supervisor with excellent attention to detail.

The team is spread across the county so you will need to contribute to team working at the same time as using your own initiative. You will manage patient records through different electronic patient management systems and will deal with patient queries on a daily basis. This will require excellent customer care skills.

Experience in a healthcare setting and using patient record systems would be preferred.

There may be occasional need for travel between sites.

The successful applicant will have the choice to work at either Shelley Road in Boscombe or Weymouth Community Hospital.
