Are you an organised administrator with great people skills looking for a full-time opportunity?

This role will be based in Wantage Community Hospital with at least one day a week in Abingdon Community Hospital. This can be impacted by service need.
The successful candidates will need to work on their own initiative and as part of a small team, be flexible, have a caring attitude and maintain confidentiality at all times.
