An opportunity has arisen to recruit a highly motivated and experienced individual to a Team Administrator position working 37.5 hours per week supporting Mental Health Services for Older People Community Team in Bishop Auckland.
You must have the Right to Work in the UK in order to be successfully appointed to this role. Please note, this role does not meet the required eligibility criteria for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker visa and therefore the Trust is unable to offer sponsorship for this particular role.
You will be required to support and maintain standard systems and processes set out by the Trust. The successful candidate will need to have excellent IT and organisational skills and have a good knowledge and understanding of information systems. The ability to prioritise workload, work under pressure to meet deadlines and demonstrate a flexible, motivated attitude to work will also be essential. Very good interpersonal and communication skills at all levels are required.
The post holder will have contact with service users and members of the public and have an important role in helping the service to run efficiently.
