Senior Medical Education Administrator Brighton & Hove
NHS AfC: Band 4
Come and join us
We’re looking for people who share our values of compassion, accountability and optimism to help us provide high quality care for the patients, carers, families and communities we serve. We specialise in NHS mental health and learning disability services and we’re proud to make a difference every day.
At SPFT we put people first. We’ll do everything possible to help you feel respected, valued and included. You’ll have opportunities to learn, grow and gain new experiences to support your career, with access to lifelong learning and professional development.
We actively promote flexible working and understand how important work life balance is, especially in healthcare. Whether it’s part time hours, hybrid working or flexible start and finish times, we’ll explore what works for you and the role.
We recognise that AI is becoming part of daily life and you may choose to use it to help prepare your application. We welcome innovation but ask that anything you submit reflects your own abilities, experience and voice. AI can support how you describe your skills and experience, but it should never replace your own words as we want to get to know you.
We’re shaping a workplace where ideas are encouraged, technology supports you and everyone has a voice in how we improve. If that sounds like the kind of organisation you want to be part of, we’d love to hear from you.
Job overview
The Medical Education Department is responsible for the provision and quality control of undergraduate and postgraduate medical education to meet national requirements for training, with the wider purpose of improving standards of patient care.
We are looking to appoint an experienced and motivated administrator to work within the Postgraduate Medical Education Team. The post holder will support the senior leadership team, tutors, specialist leads, and administration team in the delivery of postgraduate medical education across Sussex, with specific responsibility for the Brighton & Hove area.
This role is suitable for hybrid working once a satisfactory induction and training period has been completed. Office-based days will mainly be worked at Sussex Education Centre in Hove, but as the team covers all of Sussex, cross-site travel will be a requirement for attending meetings and supporting events. Office-based days must include a Wednesday, but some flexibility will be required around induction periods to meet the needs of the service.
Main duties of the job
We are looking for someone with proven administrative experience, excellent organisational skills, a collaborative, can-do approach, and the ability to work with different IT systems and applications, including online meeting platforms. The post holder must be able to work with a diverse range of colleagues, utilising good interpersonal and communication skills.
Working for our organisation
A full induction to medical education and the Trust will be provided and support will be readily available from managers and the wider team. Following appropriate training and guidance, it is anticipated that the post holder will be able to assume responsibility for their workload with minimal supervision.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
A consistent and regular on-site presence is required to support team working and business needs, such as the facilitation of induction and teaching programmes, and to maintain a welcoming and supportive environment for doctors who may require assistance from the team.
Please refer to the Job Description for a detailed overview of the post.
