Job Summary
30 hours per week
We are looking to appoint an experienced and motivated admin team leader to lead and manage a team of secretarial and admin staff based within the Central Functions Team at Kendray Hospital.
The duties within this opportunity are diverse and demanding and they will require an individual who is dynamic and driven, enjoys a challenge and has the ability to provide continuity of service whilst critiquing, introducing and promoting changes to working practices.
If you possess previous supervisory / management and organisational skills and have the qualifications and experience required to guide and direct people and processes; then this opportunity may be of particular interest to you.
At the time of advertising, this role does not meet the minimum requirements set by UK Visas and Immigration to sponsor candidates to work in the UK. For this reason, we are unable to sponsor anyone for a skilled worker visa for this role.
We are happy to accept applications from candidates who can prove their right to work in the UK or via alternative visa routes. Such applications will be considered alongside all other applications.
All employees of the Trust are strongly encouraged to have their up-to-date flu vaccination to protect staff and patients.
Main duties of the job
The role will primarily support admin staff within our Central Functions Team based within Kendray Hospital Barnsley. This will be supported through strong development plans, team working and examination of structures. The successful candidate will be directly responsible for managing staff and therefore will possess HR Management skills and will have previously held a supervisory role.
Our administrative team support clinical colleagues in the delivery of a quality patient experience. You will help to lead in the ongoing development of a full and comprehensive administrative support service within Barnsley's Physical Health and Wellbeing Care Group and the Central Functions Team. By joining the existing team, you will become a strong team player and assist us to further develop our team.
The successful candidate will be educated to NVQ level 4 in Business Admin or possess an equivalent qualification or experience in a relevant discipline. It is essential that you have the ability to work flexibly, and the post holder may be expected to work at other locations within the area. As such a car driver with regular access to a car is essential.
This post is 30 hours per week, 7 hours 30 mins per day over 4 days working 9am to 5pm.
For further information please contact Sandra Lewis, Community and Hospital Business Admin Manager on 01226 644289 or Ann Beever, Administration Manager on 01226 644286
