We’re looking for a self-motivated, energetic and competent candidate with previous experience, excellent PC and all-round secretarial skills including MS Office, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Used to working at a senior level within the NHS, you’re comfortable working within a high-pressure environment and prioritising your work to meet deadlines. Conscientious, self-motivated and able to engage with, and motivate others, you’re also familiar with data protection issues and patient confidentiality.
This is a demanding role which will require an adaptable and flexible individual with a proven ability to prioritise their own workload and demands from senior colleagues. You should have an eye for detail and use the utmost discretion when dealing with any confidential matters.
You’ll be an integral part of the team that is key to the successful delivery of the Patient Services agenda. Providing a professional, confidential and comprehensive secretarial and administration service to the Corporate Director of Nursing, you’ll be responsible for managing the diary and arranging, coordinating and minuting various meetings, alongside providing support to the Office Manager with line management of the Patient Services Administration Team. This is a rewarding and varied job with significant responsibility.
You will enjoy working with a friendly, dedicated team who share your passion for delivering an extremely high standard of work with the focus on improving the standard of care we provide

Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.
We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our brand-new Electronic Patient Record system which we’ve launched in September 2022.
We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our new Green Plan which will set out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.
