About Gray Healthcare

Gray Healthcare is a specialist Health and Social Care provider supporting people with Learning Disabilities, Autism, Mental Health conditions, Acquired Brain Injury and Emotional Complex Needs to transition safely and successfully from inpatient and community settings back into their own homes and communities.

Our approach is founded on person-centred care, clinical expertise and measurable outcomes, enabling individuals to regain control, independence and quality of life within their own environment.

We design and deliver bespoke support packages for each individual, led by a dedicated multidisciplinary team and adapted to meet both current and future needs. Our focus is not only on stability, but on progression, independence and reducing long-term reliance on restrictive environments.

We are committed to delivering safe, effective and outcome-focused care, underpinned by continuous improvement, strong governance and a culture of learning. Our services are designed to demonstrate clear evidence of impact, including improved wellbeing, reduced risk and successful community integration.

At Gray Healthcare, we are passionate about delivering exceptional care and Outstanding outcomes. Our commitment to quality and transparency is reflected in our Care Quality Commission (CQC) ratings and inspection reports, available on our website.

About the Role

Gray Healthcare is recruiting an experienced Senior Hospital Administrator to provide high-quality administrative, coordination, governance and operational support from our Head Office at Alderley Park.

A key part of this role will be providing central administrative and coordination support to our Service Managers, who are based within our community services. You will help them coordinate administrative activity, maintain records and documentation, organise meetings and reviews, monitor actions and deadlines, prepare information and ensure important administrative tasks are followed through to completion.

You will act as a reliable link between our community-based Service Managers and Central Services, helping ensure that managers responsible for the day-to-day delivery of our services have effective administrative support behind them.

Alongside this, you will support wider healthcare governance and operational processes, working closely with Clinical, Quality, HR, Learning and other central functions to ensure information is accurate, processes are effective and services receive the support they need to deliver safe, effective and person-centred care.

This is not a traditional general administration role. You will work across multiple services and priorities, supporting governance processes, audits, reporting, compliance activity and organisational improvement alongside the practical administrative and coordination needs of our Service Managers.

We are looking for somebody who is highly organised, confident working independently and comfortable taking ownership of multiple priorities. You will need to notice when something is missing, follow things through to completion and maintain accurate records without requiring constant direction.

The successful candidate will ideally already understand the standards expected within healthcare, the NHS, health and social care or another regulated environment.

For the right person, this position provides an opportunity to develop broader experience across healthcare governance, quality, compliance and operational management as Gray Healthcare continues to grow.

• Providing responsive administrative and coordination support to community-based Service Managers.
• Acting as a central administrative point of support for Service Managers working across our community services.
• Supporting Service Managers with day-to-day administrative requirements, helping them to remain organised and focused on the effective delivery of their services.
