Exciting Opportunity in Community Services Bury

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our expanding Single Point of Access (SPOA) within Community Services Bury.

Following development of a new model to support our clinical teams across the Division, we are looking for a resilient, robust, and self-motivated individual to undertake the role of Receptionist/Clerical Officer.

About the Role

The successful applicant will provide reception and administrative support to the Single Point of Access by processing referrals, inputting data onto SystmOne, taking telephone queries from healthcare professionals and service users, booking appointments, cancelling clinics, scanning and other general office duties.

The new model provides the opportunity for staff to rotate across different areas of the SPOA based in central Bury or on a community reception, allowing personal growth and development.

The Single Point of Access operates on a 7 day basis, 365 days per year.

Working Hours

The working pattern will be 8am – 4pm or 10am – 6pm on a rota basis.

Some weekend working will be required and Bank Holiday working on a rota basis.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
