Role
The Head and Neck department are seeking an experienced medical PA to cover a fixed term position of 12 months within our unit. The post holder will be responsible for the provision of a comprehensive Medical P.A. service to our Head and Consultants.
This post is vital to the smooth running of the unit and you should possess excellent interpersonal, verbal communication and organisational skills. Experience of Medical PA duties and diary management is essential. Experience leading a team and working within a hospital is highly desirable.
Responsibilities
The difference between the role of a Medical P.A. and that of a Medical Secretary is the level of responsibility. To undertake a Medical P.A. position, the post holder will need to either:
- Be the only secretarial member of staff working for the consultant, and hence will be required to cover a wide range of duties incorporating diary management and the co-ordination of all clinical / administrative / academic work.
- Take the lead role in the organisation of a consultant’s clinical practice (including the line management of other secretarial staff) where the size of the consultant’s practice justifies more than one member of staff to support it.
