The successful applicant will be reliable and able to provide a confidential, quality administration and telephone service.

A high standard of word processing is essential, and you will be experienced in the use of Microsoft Word, Excel & Outlook.  Knowledge of SystmOne would be a distinct advantage. 

Attention to detail is essential whilst working within the team and supporting and mentoring colleagues.  Due to the nature of the service, you will be required to display tact and diplomacy when talking to service users and relatives and have an empathetic nature in difficult circumstances.
