Your skills can make a real difference
Band 3 administration is about more than keeping things organised. It’s about using your skills, knowledge and initiative to support teams, improve processes and help our services run effectively.
Our Band 3 roles offer variety, responsibility and the chance to make a real contribution. You’ll work with colleagues across the service, manage a range of administrative tasks and use your experience to solve problems, respond to changing priorities and keep things moving.
We’re looking for people who are organised, reliable and confident in what they do, with a positive approach and a willingness to take ownership. If you’re ready for a role where you can use your experience, develop your skills and be part of a supportive team, we’d love to hear from you.
In these roles, you’ll be the organising force behind patient care. Depending on the team you join, you’ll be:
- Managing and updating schedules, waiting lists and procedure slots
- Supporting consultants and clinical teams as their key administrative link
- Ensuring essential information is accurate, timely and handled confidentially
- Speaking with patients, families and staff to keep pathways moving
- Solving problems in real time to prevent delays and maximise efficiency
- Confident with independent working and using your own initiative.
- Providing excellent customer service in fast-paced clinical environments
You’ll thrive in these roles if you are:
- Organised & accurate: able to manage data, diaries, referrals and scheduling
- A clear communicator: confident speaking with patients and clinical teams
- A problem solver: able to think ahead and spot issues before they impact care
- Independent but team focused: able to own your workload and adapt quickly
- Familiar with IT systems / willingness to learn new systems within the Trust
- Committed to great service: delivering professionalism, compassion and confidentiality
Experience in healthcare or admin is helpful, but your attitude, resilience and attention to detail matter most.
Why join us?
- Develop specialist knowledge in clinical areas
- Gain responsibility, autonomy and a role that genuinely impacts patient care
- Opportunities for progression into senior coordination, pathway management or leadership roles
- A supportive team, strong training offer, and a trust committed to improvement
