Team Secretary Crisis Team - Apprenticeship Opportunity

The closing date is 23 June 2025

Job summary

We are looking for a highly motivated, enthusiastic Team Secretary to join our Service. We provide frontline mental health services to people who are suffering from a mental health problem in the Community.

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.

If you don't already have a Level 3 qualification or equivalent experience in a relevant subject, RDaSH are offering this post alongside the opportunity for you to complete a Level 3 apprenticeship qualification [relevant to your role].

An apprenticeship includes regular training with a college or other training organisation. Around 20% of your working hours will be spent training or studying. This leads to a nationally recognised qualification.

Whether you already work for us or are joining the Trust and NHS for the first time, apprenticeships can help you to develop the skills, knowledge and know-how in order to embark on a successful and fulfilling career within the health service.
