The role includes supporting booking of Gynaecological diagnostic procedure appointments for patients in line with national targets.

Please note: This role does not meet the minimum criteria for visa sponsorship under the current UK immigration rules, which set specific salary and skill thresholds. As such, we are unable to provide sponsorship for this post. Applicants will therefore need to already have the right to work in the UK to be considered. We include this information at the outset to provide clarity and avoid unnecessary inconvenience for applicants.

We are looking for an individual who has the ability to communicate effectively with colleagues, patients and medical staff.

Previous secretarial/administration experience and excellent audio typing skills are essential. Knowledge of medical terminology is desirable but not essential. Support the Division by providing an effective booking provision for Gynaecological diagnostic procedures. To make available an efficient and reliable service to book patients’ appointments in line with national targets. Ensure the smooth running of clinics by rescheduling, ensuring maximum utilisation, booking in turn, whilst maintaining waiting lists in line with Government targets.

Our ideal candidate will be flexible and adaptable and willing to work as part of our busy but supportive Team.
