Specialist Services Team Administrator, Wound Care

Our busy nurse-led community specialist Wound Care Service is looking for an experienced, part-time Administrator to support the small team based at Crawley Hospital. An integral member of the team, our clinicians rely on our Administrators to keep things running smoothly and to time. This is a great opportunity to either start or develop your NHS administration career, working in the specialist field of wound care which continues to be a high-profile, national patient safety issue., Working to agreed processes and procedures, you'll work on your own initiative as you prioritise and manage your day-to-day workload. As an important member of the team, you'll contribute to service development for both the administrative and clinical processes to maximise efficiency and ensure a good patient experience. The wound care nurses provide a programme of training throughout the year which will involve liaising with venues, coordinating clinical diaries and advanced word-processing ability.

We're looking for an experienced Administrator with great attention to detail when handling confidential information. You'll also need sound organisational skills as you help to plan a rolling training programme, responsible for booking venues, and providing information to attendees. Our Wound Care Service is comprised of 4 teams based across East and West Sussex, each with their own Administrator.
