Role Overview

An exciting and rewarding opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated and experienced Administrator to join the Paediatric Division as a Personal Assistant (PA) to the Directorate General Manager and wider Directorate Leadership Team. This is a fantastic chance to become an integral part of a dynamic, fast-paced healthcare environment, where your skills will make a real impact on the lives of children and families we serve.

  • Maintain an effective diary system on a daily basis, electronically as required by the Integration Team ensuring good practice and efficient use of working time. This may require use of tact and sensitivity to negotiate an agreement when dealing with large groups of senior staff and/or external staff.
  • Liaise effectively with a range of staff including outside agencies and wider partners to ensure sound communication within the department/teams.
