Do you have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, lots of initiative, drive and enthusiasm and a real desire to be part of a consistently developing service? Are you hard working, friendly and committed to delivering a high standard of customer care? Then read on!

We’re one of the country’s leading Major Trauma Centers and, accordingly, always at the forefront of new and exciting opportunities within the NHS. We’re also one of the busiest departments in the North West and see over 100,000 new patients per year. Supported by an exceptional clinical team of colleagues who work at the forefront of development and innovation, we’re consistently looking at ways of improving current working practices too. Indeed, as an ever changing and adapting department, the future is never planned out as we consistently embrace change and new developments.

Right now, we’re looking for an Administrator who’s not afraid of change. In fact, we want someone who truly embraces change and innovation and wants to join a diverse team in a busy but rewarding department where they can work both independently and as part of the multi-disciplinary team. Operating within the clearly defined limits of our policies, procedures, protocols and guidelines, and as part of a team, you’ll aid the smooth running of the CSU and reflect high quality customer care in all your daily activities.

The department is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and as such you will need to be flexible in your approach to working hours. In a regular shift pattern, you can expect to do early shifts (approx. 7am to 3pm), late shifts (approx. 2pm to 10pm) and overnight shifts (approx. 9pm to 7am). In addition to your basic salary, any time worked outside of normal 'social' hours (6am to 8pm weekdays) will be compensated with 'unsocial hours' pay, in accordance with national NHS standards.

All training required to undertake the post will be provided, in addition to support for your personal and professional development. And, as well as encouraging your progression, via our appraisal process you'll also have the opportunity to access relevant training i.e. ECDL, NVQ Level 2 in healthcare administration/supervisory skills.
