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 ### Skills **Essential** - Excellent verbal and written communication skills - Good organisation skills - Good interpersonal skills - High level of accuracy when entering, checking and maintaining patient information, consent records and correspondence logs - Understanding of confidentiality, data protection and information governance requirements - Able to recognise when information is missing, inconsistent, expired or requires escalation to a senior colleague - Able to produce accurate letters, emails and records using standard templates and agreed wording - Willingness to work in line with Trust procedures, departmental SOPs and HFEA-related processes ### Qaulifications **Essential** - 5 GCSE’s at Grades A-C or equivalent - NVQ Level 3 in Business Administration or equivalent administrative experience **Desirable** - Qualification related to databases or excel ### Experience and knowledge **Essential** - Experience using Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, Outlook) - Experience using IT systems for data entry and information retrieval - Previous experience working in an administrative role, preferably within a health or care setting - Ability to maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive patient or service related information appropriately - Ability to plan, prioritise, and manage own workload to meet deadlines and service requirements **Desirable** - Experience using bring forward systems, trackers or reminder processes - Understanding of legislation relating to the storage of gametes and embryos - Knowledge of the HFEA - Experience working with consent-based or legally sensitive documents - Experience in fertility services or another highly specialised healthcare service - Awareness of risks associated with consent, data quality or loss to follow-up ## Documents - [functional requirements (pdf, 920.2kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?vdoc=10397632) - [inside mft – your candidate place (pdf, 306.4kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?edoc=2890) - [job description and person specification (pdf, 400.4kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?vdoc=10207694) ## 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.
