Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check As part of our commitment to safeguarding patients and staff, many roles at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) require a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. This is a standard process across the NHS and helps us ensure a safe environment for everyone. What is a DBS Check? A DBS check is a background check that reveals any criminal convictions, cautions, reprimands, or warnings. The level of check required depends on the role: Standard DBS: Checks for spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands, and final warnings. Enhanced DBS: Includes the above, plus any additional information held by local police that’s considered relevant to the role. Enhanced with Barred Lists: Includes all of the above, plus checks against the children’s and/or adults’ barred lists. Who Needs a DBS Check Most roles involving direct patient contact, working with children or vulnerable adults, or access to sensitive information will require a DBS check. The job advert and recruitment team will let you know if this applies to your role. The Costs for a DBS At Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT), roles that require a DBS check are subject to a cost recovery policy. This means that the cost of submitting and processing a DBS application if you are successful and join us, will be deducted from your salary within the first three months of employment.   If, however, you withdraw from a conditional offer after the DBS process has begun, you will still be liable for the cost incurred. For more information about the cost of the various types of DBS, please visit: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/dbs-fees-are-changing-in-december DBS Update Service Candidates are also expected to register with the DBS Update Service which must be completed within 30 days of the certificate being issued. This helps streamline future employment checks and supports safer recruitment practices.  For more information, please visit the DBS Update Service. ## Person Specification ### Experience **Essential** - Demonstrable experience of working within and office environment **Desirable** - Experience of working with the NHS in a support role. ### Qualifications **Essential** - - Good standard of numeracy and literacy. - - Evidence of recent further development / willing to work towards NVQ 3 level. **Desirable** - - IT qualification or equivalent. ### Skills and knowledge **Essential** - - Able to deal confidently and professionally with all members of the MDT including patients and their families, resolving queries and progress chasing - - Ability to analyse information to resolve problems - - Good organisational skills. - - Excellent communications skills. - - Well-developed negotiating and motivating skills. - - Experience of servicing meetings and taking minutes. - - Ability to utilise a range of IT programmes, including Microsoft Office Suite including knowledge of Microsoft Access and PowerPoint. **Desirable** - - Knowledge of the Health Service - - Knowledge of Patient Administration systems e.g. EMIS/HIVE. ### Personal attributes/abilities **Essential** - - Ability to work as part of a team as well as on own initiative. - - Adaptable with a flexible approach to work and working hours. - - Good customer service skills - - Willingness to work flexibly at various locations in the service. - - Ability to travel between various locations in the community. **Desirable** - - Recognition of own limitations/flexibility. ## Documents - [administrator fr (pdf, 936.5kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?vdoc=10470436) - [administrator jd & ps (pdf, 440.4kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?vdoc=10470435) - [inside mft – your candidate place (pdf, 306.4kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?edoc=2890) ## Agent Notes - This Markdown page is generated from the same Job Clerk job record as the HTML job detail page. - Use the canonical HTML URL for user-facing references. - Use the application URL when the user wants to apply on the source NHS site.
