This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic and organised individual who is proficient with IT systems and eager to become an integral part of our fast-paced team. The position requires a commitment of 15 hours per week, Monday through Friday.

We are seeking candidates who possess strong time management skills and the ability to thrive in a busy environment. Inclusion Thurrock NHS Talking therapies is a dynamic and growing service providing primary care mental health services throughout Thurrock.

### Main duties of the job

The main priority of this position is to work as part of the administrative team providing general reception and administration duties for the Thurrock Mental Health Service, working with our established processes, policies and procedures to provide a comprehensive high-quality service and deal efficiently and courteously with patient enquiries.

Your regular duties in this role will be dealing with, face to face service users as well as, telephone and electronic enquiries. Booking and/or amending patient appointments, contacting patients to provide information from the clinical team and assisting patients to access our services.
