About The Role

Are you an experienced medical secretary ready to take the lead? Baldock Manor is our specialist psychiatric hospital, where our clinical teams support people through some of the most difficult periods of their lives.

If you are the person colleagues turn to when something has to be right, we would love to hear from you!

  • Prepare medical reports and summaries, patient histories, manuscripts and correspondence.
  • Provide historical reference by developing and using filing and retrieval systems, maintaining patient records and recording meeting discussions.
  • Maintain patient confidence and protect operations by keeping information confidential.
  • Liaise and maintain close working relationships with other secretaries and administrative staff, and cover leave for other secretaries when necessary.
  • Provide cover for the Mental Health Act Manager and Senior Administrator when needed.
  • Provide front of house cover when needed.
  • Maintain the office supplies inventory by checking stock, anticipating needs, placing and expediting purchase orders and verifying receipt.
  • Prioritise and efficiently organise your own workload to ensure all tasks are completed in a timely manner, and oversee the workload of the Medical Secretary.
  • Support the processing and recording of information for regular audits.
  • Maintain patient and staff confidentiality in accordance with GDPR guidelines.
  • Maintain quality results by following and enforcing standards.
