We are seeking a highly motivated, committed and experienced Medical Personal Assistant to provide high quality administrative services to clinicians in the EAU department at ESNEFT, based at the Colchester site.

You must have relevant qualifications and experience in providing a PA service within an NHS hospital setting, ideally with a background in Emergency Medicine. The key aspect of your role involves dealing with the public and professionals and hence you must be able to demonstrate excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

We are one of the largest NHS organisations in England, employing more than 12,000 staff.

We pride ourselves on supporting our staff. We offer a wide range of training and development opportunities, as well as flexible working options.

Along with supporting you to achieve your career goals we offer a generous pension scheme, unsocial hours payments (where applicable), 27 days annual leave on commencement (pro rata) and access to a range of NHS discounts. Our Staff Health and Wellbeing programme offer a variety of services.

Our philosophy is that Time Matters to everyone. Across the Trust, we concentrate on improving the things we do and removing those which cause time delays for our staff and patients.

We are investing in our commitment to Time Matters with a partnership with leading electronic patient record (EPR) supplier Epic. This digital transformation will bring what's widely regarded as the world's best EPR system to ESNEFT, transforming life in hospital for staff and patients.

If you are passionate about patient care and want to develop your skills and knowledge, then we want to hear from you.
