Employer heading
Administrator
NHS AfC: Band 4
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is the independent organisation responsible for providing national guidance and advice on promoting high quality health, public health and social care.
As an equal opportunities employer we are committed to creating a inclusive environment and welcome everyone from all backgrounds to apply so we can continue to create a workforce which is representative of the communities we serve.
If you are suitably qualified and have an interest in remote, hybrid, full time or part time working we encourage you to get in touch as we are happy to discuss potential flexible working opportunities.
We have modern offices in Manchester city centre and Stratford, London. Please take into consideration that you may be required to commute to one of our offices for business purposes if necessary.
Job overview
The Planning and Operations Administrator will report to the project manager and be responsible for providing administrative support for the Planning and Operations team, including:
• Taking the administrative lead on a portfolio of projects, both routine and non-routine
• Supporting the data management function within the team, helping to ensure the quality and integrity of the data that is used in business reporting
• Liaising with internal and external stakeholders about ongoing topics across the work programme
• Organising in person and virtual meetings and other events, which may include co-ordinating the attendance of attendees, organising meetings rooms, facilities and refreshments, making travel arrangements for those attending meetings and preparing attendance lists.
Main duties of the job
The Centre for Health Technology Evaluation develops guidance on the use of new and existing medicines, treatments and procedures within the NHS.
The Medicines Evaluation programme (Technology Appraisals and Highly Specialised Technologies TA/HST) programme advises the NHS and patients on the clinical and cost effectiveness of the technologies reviewed and their optimal position in clinical practice. We review a significant proportion of the total number of new technologies offered to the NHS and we apply (jointly, with the Department of Health and Social Care), selection criteria to decide which to appraise.
Though TA/HST recommendations are legally covered by a funding requirement, our recommendations are not instructions to practitioners, but they are expected to take them into account and patients’ access to what we recommend is guaranteed in the NHS Constitution. Our advice, though occasionally controversial, is valued by the NHS and we have evidence (through our web-based database) of their significant impact.
We can offer you a great place to work with good benefits, flexible working, and a supportive, friendly, and inclusive environment.
