Job summary
1 x 37.5 hours permanent post
We have an exciting opportunity for a Band 3 Medical Secretary, within the Division of Surgery. This role is ideal for a candidate who is compassionate and would like to make a positive difference to patient experience. Whilst not a hands on patient role, this position enables the post holder to speak with patients on a daily basis and improve hospital waiting times, by working effectively and efficiently.
Main duties of the job
The Medical Secretary role is a highly diverse, demanding, but rewarding role, working as part of a supportive and dynamic team. The role entails supporting clinicians on a day-to-day basis, especially in helping coordinate the cancer service. It is essential that the successful applicants have the ability to type to a high standard and a desire to develop and learn new skills and competencies.
Applicants must be organised, a team player, have the ability to work under their own initiative and be able to prioritise a competing workload. Whilst experience in a medical administration or secretarial role is preferred, it is not essential. Full training and support would be offered to the candidate who has the skills and qualities required for the role. This role requires on-site working, Monday to Friday.
About us
The James Paget University Hospital is a vibrant university hospital providing the best possible care to the people of east Norfolk and north Suffolk.
Situated between two popular holiday destinations, and with a steadily increasing local population of over 230,000, the JPUH is the largest local employer in the area with over 3000 staff.
Our priority is ensuring that patients always come first and remain at the heart of everything we do. We focus on high quality, safe and compassionate care, supporting our growing elderly population and developing closer links with our health, social and educational partners. Listening to patients and carers so that we understand what matters, what works well and what we need to do to improve is also very important to us.
We pride ourselves on our safety levels and are active in clinical research and play an important role in the teaching and training of a wide range of health professionals.
