Job overview

George Mackenzie House is a Low Secure Unit based at Fulbourn Hospital. The ward holds 20 patients both male/female. As administrators we are mainly in charge of the entrance to the ward which is called the ‘airlock’. We sign visitors in and out ensuring that no contraband items are taking into the ward and that all staff have keys allocated along with visitors being issued alarms. We do daily ad-hoc admin tasks such as scanning and uploading, photocopying, printing and laminating. We also set up meetings within the ward such as ward rounds or CPA (care plan approach) meetings which we would be required to take minutes for. We also report any IT/Maintenance issues and keep track of these. We are also in charge of ordering stock for the ward. The role is patient facing and will have some interaction with service users as we are based within the ward. 

 We are looking for someone who is outgoing, organised, reliable, approachable, has the ability to maintain focus and is able to deal well in a fast paced environment as sometimes the office/airlock can become very busy, works well under pressure and is able to communicate efficiently with a range of professionals (as we encounter solicitors, courts, police etc). 

You will be shown the office environment you will be situated in during the interview process to ensure you know how it looks/works and if this is something for you!
