Overview
Medical Secretary - Respiratory Medicine Department. Join to apply for the Medical Secretary - Respiratory Medicine Department role at University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust. Two secretaries from the Respiratory Medicine Department are retiring after over 30 years of service; we are therefore looking for new, enthusiastic staff to join this dynamic team. The role is busy with a lot of variety. You will work in the same area as the consultants and often will deal with their queries and correspondence directly. The department is now situated in the new Louisa Martindale Building.
Key responsibilities
* Carry out the production of clinic letters and other correspondence from the electronic dictation system (G2), including amending and sending letters when approved/signed on a timely basis.
* Handle urgent telephone and email enquiries to the department in a professional manner as part of the secretarial team.
Requirements / qualifications
* Excellent time management skills, the ability to organise and prioritise work, and an understanding of patient confidentiality.
* NHS secretarial experience and strong organisational skills are preferred; ideal candidates will have NHS experience and secretarial background.
* The role does not meet the minimum criteria for visa sponsorship under current UK immigration rules; applicants must already have the right to work in the UK.
