Make your work count! Could you be our next Team Support Assistant?
This is a fantastic opportunity to join Rowcroft Hospice and become an important part of our Clinical Services Coordination Team, providing friendly, efficient and compassionate administrative support to our Medical Team, Community and Hospice at Home services.
You’ll be someone who enjoys making a difference behind the scenes. From welcoming patients and visitors and coordinating information, to supporting referrals, maintaining accurate records and helping our clinical teams stay organised, your work will help ensure our services run smoothly and patients and families receive an excellent experience.
This is a varied role where no two days are quite the same. You’ll work across our services and, when needed, provide support to the Inpatient Unit as part of our seven-day service when it’s needed.
