An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Divisional PA to join the Management Team in the division of Surgery and Anaesthetics. We are looking for an enthusiastic, motivated individual who has the ability to work independently and also as part of the wider team.

Experience as a PA would be advantageous given the demands of the role and a knowledge of Surgery would be beneficial. Minute taking experience is essential as is the ability to multitask. You will need to be organised with the ability to manage competing demands on a daily basis.

The role involves a wide range of administrative tasks, taking personal responsibility and initiative for assigned projects as required and providing a comprehensive secretarial service.

At East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust our vision is to be widely recognised for providing safe, personal and effective care. We currently provide high quality services and treat over 600,000 people across East Lancashire and the surrounding area. We employ over 8,000 staff, many of whom are internationally renowned and have won awards for their work.

You are expected to understand the role and objectives of the Directorate and Divisional Managers and assist them by filtering and prioritising telephone calls, e-mails, correspondence, and requests for meetings, etc., to ensure they are able to focus on strategic key issues.

The role involves handling highly contentious and very sensitive confidential information of a personal and political nature. The post holder is expected to work flexibly to support other Managers and Clinical Directors as required, in the absence of their PA.
