Main duties of the job
This role requires the post holder to provide a comprehensive efficient, confidential, and tactful , clerical and administrative service for the department. This could include maintaining patient related records/databases and preparing correspondence.
Please note that this post does not meet the pay level required for a Skilled worker visa. Successful applicants with no prior NHS experience would normally be placed at the bottom of the band in line with Agenda for Change. This salary is below the minimum salary required for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa. In these circumstances the Trust would not, therefore, be able to sponsor for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa.
