Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a conscientious and supportive administrator to join our busy and dedicated team based within the Ridgeway at Roseberry Park.
Roseberry Park is an inpatient forensic mental health unit providing services and delivering care to the Tees Valley area. This unit is situated on Marton Road, Middlesbrough and benefits from free on-site parking and is easily accessed by car, bus and bicycle.
As a member of the Ridgeway Admin Team, you will work in an office at the centre of a ward. The office is an area of high activity, and no two days are the same. If you are looking for a new challenge, enjoy variety in your work and are looking to be part of a team striving to make a difference, we will welcome your application for this role.
You must have the Right to Work in the UK in order to be successfully appointed to this role. Please note, this role does not meet the required eligibility criteria for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker visa and therefore the Trust is unable to offer sponsorship for this particular role.
Main duties of the job
Whilst having previous experience in an administrative role is essential, NHS or other health care experience is not. We are first and foremost looking for individuals with a passion for people, customer service experience, an interest in working in a health care setting and a 'can do' attitude.
The Ward Team Administrator role is pivotal in the day-to-day operations of the ward teams. As part of this role, you will work closely with the Nursing team, Consultants, Medics and the wider Ridgeway Service teams to provide the best possible care to the service user(s).
We are looking for someone who is able to multitask in a busy environment, communicate confidently, prioritise their workload, meet deadlines and build strong working relationships with a variety of people.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
We recognise that Administrators are professionals and are a valuable asset to our organisation. We understand that they have a key role in the support and delivery of our services and that their contribution helps us in achieving our aim of consistently providing safe and high-quality care for our service users. The kind of care we would want for ourselves and for our loved ones.
Our organisation is on a ‘Journey to Change’, creating a great experience for our staff is one of three big goals. Ultimately, our aim is to be a proactive, responsible and mindful employer; recruiting, retaining and training our staff, for the right roles, at the right time.
