·
Full time
Within the Bournemouth East Integrated Community Mental Health Team, we are looking to recruit an

Administrative Team Leader

to manage and coordinate the administrative team and medical secretaries. We are looking for an organised, motivated, consistent, and enthusiastic individual with excellent administrative skills to join our existing team.

The successful candidate will need to multi-task and work flexibly to help manage the workload of a busy Community Mental Health Team with a good working knowledge of Microsoft Office programmes including Outlook, Word, Excel, Winscribe, and relevant NHS systems (Rio, Dorset Care Records, CLUES, etc).

The successful candidate will be highly organised, motivated, and able to work to deadlines in a busy office environment as part of a larger team and able to take and transcribe formal meetings and distribute minutes in a timely fashion.

The successful candidate will need to have an excellent telephone manner, as you will often be the first point of contact for this busy team and will need to be able to work under pressure. You will have strong communication skills and good attention to detail with the ability to cope with complex tasks whilst ensuring databases are kept up to date.

The successful applicant will be required to provide efficient secretarial, administrative, and reception support and management for the administrative team and at times to liaise with members of the public and a variety of professionals, both in primary and secondary care services. Given the nature of this service, some patients may contact us in distress, and we are looking for resilient applicants, with a compassionate work ethos who can thrive with the right level of support being offered by the Team Leader.

As a key member of the team, you will find the experience challenging, but rewarding and varied within the well-established and supportive team, where we have strong values about working in a patient-centred manner, where their recovery and wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone with excellent communication skills, sound administrative experience, and a willingness to learn to be a part of a growing team as we move towards new ways of working.

This is a full-time position within regular office hours 0830 - 1700 with a 1 hr lunch break.

At Dorset HealthCare, we’re on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services. We’re a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities, and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here – it’s one of the reasons the CQC rated us ‘outstanding’ in 2019. It’s also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference. Whether you’re looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.

Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people. We're all about building a workplace for the future; we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity. We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.

Working with us, you’ll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don’t know. And you’ll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion, and expertise in all we do.
