You will be required to provide an efficient reception/administrative service to the Community Midwifery Teams based in several hub locations across the trust including our new hub at Moulton Park between the hours of 8-6pm Monday to Friday.

The role will involve face-to-face reception and telephone duties, booking and re-arranging appointments, general admin and clerical duties. Shift are planned on a monthly rota basis with at least two 6pm finishes required each week.

Excellent organisational and interpersonal skills will be required for this post as you will be expected to communicate well with all levels of staff and public.

You will be part of a reception team providing a first class reception service to visiting patients and their families in additional to providing administrative support to the community midwives working on the site.

An eye for detail is essential and the ability to prioritise and organise your workload is also essential.

Ideally you will have had recent admin experience and will have excellent computer skills and organisation skills. Previous reception experience is desirable but not essential.
