Our Vision is to provide the best mental health, learning disability, autism, community, and physical health services for the populations we serve.
As an integrated Trust, Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust (LSCFT) delivers a comprehensive range of services, including:
The Trust was first established in 2002 and employs approximately 7,500 staff who provide care from more than 400 sites. The organisation offers opportunities for medics, mental health, general nurses, children’s nurses, allied health professionals, psychology, administration and clerical staff, apprentices and volunteers, as well as those specialising in learning disabilities and community physical health services.
This post forms part of a service currently subject to a service improvement and redesign programme. Service delivery models, roles and structures will be reviewed as part of the improvement process, which may result in changes and a consultation process in line with the Trust’s Organisational Change Policy.
Applications are invited for a Band 3 Administrator to provide a comprehensive secretarial administration and information service across the Eating Disorders Team and coordinate their activities with other members of the administration team to ensure an efficient and confidential service is provided.
The post holder will be aligned to the Eating Disorders Team, covering the West locality, but is required to work flexibly in response to the needs of the network’s administrative service, providing cover to other departments across the Service as directed by their Administration Line Manager to ensure continuity of service provision.
Evidence of good general education is essential together with good communication skills and excellent organisational ability. Knowledge of working with the NHS will be an advantage and computer skills are essential.
The successful candidate will require a mature, flexible approach and the ability to work within a busy team. They will be expected to use their own initiative and work unsupervised to ensure the effective coordination of duties.
LSCFT values diversity and inclusion, recognising that talent from varied backgrounds creates a flexible, creative, and effective workforce.

We also welcome individuals with lived experience relevant to the role or service area, as their insight brings authenticity to our services.
LSCFT supports flexible working; we believe that a positive work/life balance benefits NHS employees through improved health and wellbeing. We would consider working patterns such as term time, part time, compressed hours and flexi‑time.
The wellbeing of our people is at the heart of everything we do. We offer a wide range of resources, tools and support to help you thrive both in and out of work.
