Main duties of the job

As part of the Community Cardiac Service, you will provide comprehensive administrative and clerical support to help ensure the smooth running of the service and an excellent experience for our patients.

Working both independently and as part of a supportive team, you will be responsible for prioritising your workload, managing competing demands and using your initiative to support the day-to-day operation of the service. You will handle sensitive information with professionalism, confidentiality and discretion at all times.

The role requires a proactive and flexible approach, with the ability to adapt to changing service needs and support colleagues across the wider Neuro & Specialist Services administration team when required. This may involve covering planned leave and absences, undertaking a variety of administrative tasks and occasionally travelling to other local bases with prior notice.

All duties will be carried out in line with Trust policies, including Information Governance, data protection and record-keeping requirements.

The team delivers rehabilitation programmes and support across Southampton and surrounding areas, helping patients improve their health and wellbeing following cardiac events.
