Have you got the right mix of skills it takes to work within a busy department?
We’re looking for a flexible, hardworking person to work full-time hours, however we will consider part-time hours for the right candidate. The role will also involve working Saturdays when required. Someone who can work in a fast-paced department who has what it takes to work under pressure, working to deadlines in a small, busy, but friendly team.
To succeed you’ll need to have experience in a process driven administrative role, together with good communication skills. You will need to be proactive in reacting to situations when dealing with patients and other staff members, working independently or as part of a team.
The post holder will be the first point of contact providing a friendly, welcoming, professional reception to all visitors to the Private Patient Centre (PPC), on Ward 54 at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital.
The post holder will provide a wide range of general clerical and administrative duties throughout the ward to support the smooth and efficient day to day running of the whole department. This will require a high degree of organisational skills as you will be working in a highly pressured environment. Although the post will be based at reception there will be requirements to work behind the scenes to ensure there is an effective infrastructure for our patients and service users.
