In 2026, Sheffield Children’s will open the National Centre for Child Health Technology (NCCHT) at The Spark — the first facility of its kind in the UK and a major step in our ambition to lead globally in child health research and innovation. This £24.2m, purpose‑built centre at the Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park will drive the next generation of technology, treatments and models of care.
We are looking for a professional and welcoming first point of contact for visitors to the site. You will manage enquiries, take and relay messages, and coordinate room and car‑parking bookings to ensure a smooth visitor experience.

Provide front‑of‑house and general administrative support, including managing messages, visitors, post and deliveries.
Book and prepare rooms, arrange parking, and support building access as a key holder.
Log and report maintenance issues and liaise with Estates, Security and site management.
Maintain accurate filing systems and monitor stationery stock, placing orders as needed.
Support the NCCHT management team with scheduling and general admin tasks.
Manage website enquiries and ensure timely responses or escalation.
Coordinate access badge permissions with IT and Estates.
Assist with new starter inductions and work collaboratively to support a smooth patient and visitor experience.
At Sheffield Children’s, our purpose is clear: to provide healthier futures for children and young people. Our three strategic aims are Outstanding Patient Care, Brilliant Place to Work, and Leaders in Children’s Health.
We work with partners across local, regional, and national levels to deliver physical and mental healthcare in both acute and community settings. Many of our clinicians are nationally and internationally recognised for their expertise.
We’re proud that 73% of colleagues would recommend Sheffield Children’s as a place to work, placing us among the top five NHS trusts in England — and the top-ranked trust in the North East and Yorkshire — in the latest NHS Staff Survey.
Our nearly 4,000 colleagues bring our CARE values — Compassion, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence — to life every day, creating a kind, welcoming environment where patients and families feel safe and supported.
As we approach our 150th anniversary in 2026, we’re excited to keep building our leadership in children's health, improve experiences for patients and staff, and focus on our communities and population health.
