Exciting Opportunity: Band 3 Administrator at Inclusion Thurrock NHS Talking Therapy.

We are thrilled to announce a permanent vacancy for a Band 3 Administrator role to undertake general administrative and reception support across all teams at Inclusion Thurrock NHS Talking Therapies. This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic and organised individual who is proficient with IT systems and eager to become an integral part of our fast-paced team. The position requires a commitment of 30 hours per week, Monday through Friday.

We are seeking candidates who possess strong time management skills and the ability to thrive in a busy environment. Inclusion Thurrock NHS Talking therapies is a dynamic and growing service providing primary care mental health services throughout Thurrock. Our admin team is currently looking for someone who enjoys a challenge, understands the importance of detail and confidentiality, and values the support, flexibility, and job satisfaction that come from being part of a dedicated team.

Main duties of the job

The main priority of this position is to work as part of the administrative team providing general reception and administration duties for the Thurrock Mental Health Service, working with our established processes, policies and procedures to provide a comprehensive high-quality service and deal efficiently and courteously with patient enquiries.

Your regular duties in this role will be dealing with, face to face service users as well as, telephone and electronic enquiries. Booking and/or amending patient appointments, contacting patients to provide information from the clinical team and assisting patients to access our services.

While this role does not involve working with clients in crisis, you will often engage with individuals who are distressed, anxious, depressed, or confused. It is crucial that you can interact with clients calmly and confidently while maintaining professional boundaries. Experience in a primary care or mental health setting is advantageous but not essential.

The role involves a variety of tasks, including reception duties, telephone and face-to-face contact with service users, and organisational support for therapists and managers. Our admin team and reception staff consistently receive praise for their welcoming and professional approach, and we are committed to maintaining and enhancing this culture as we continue to develop our services for the communities of Thurrock.
