Job summary

We have some lovely opportunities for anyone looking for a role in administration; we have a variety of roles starting with the basics through to roles that involve more complex administration. We also have a wide variety of working patterns, full and part time roles, permanent or fixed term too.

Your role will be based within the Medical Secretarial Service at Broomfield Hospital, and comes with some great benefits including, a very generous holiday allowance, a brilliant pension and the opportunity to work with some great people and we offer a range of formal training with some great apprenticeships starting with the basics and going through the levels - if you qualify the Trust even offer apprenticeships that will lead all the way to a degree.

You need to have a can do attitude, a great deal of enthusiasm, be a good communicator and most importantly be prepared to learn.

Our Medical Secretarial Service employs over 160 staff supporting the Trust consultants and their teams in 22 specialities with administrative and secretarial functions. The secretarial service is fundamental and forms the foundation for the support of all clinical activity. The role can be demanding at times, however, our friendly teams thrive on working hard and supporting each other to fulfil the job role.
