An exciting opportunity has arisen to recruit an administrative manager to support the administration team within CAMHS, based at Lake House in Scarborough. The post has oversight of administrators in multiple teams; there may be a degree of travel required in order to fulfil this role, therefore a driving license and own vehicle will be needed.
With this in mind, we are looking for someone who is self-motivated and keen to work across teams, acting as a positive role model; to work alongside the Service and Team Managers, to provide professional leadership, to set and maintain administrative standards within the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service teams. We are looking for someone who is conscientious, dedicated and passionate about providing a professional, efficient administration support service to our service users and clinical teams.
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.
The role involves supporting the Team Managers and Service Managers to determine quality standards and aims to provide a sustainable and effective administration service. The primary role will also include supporting the line management of staff, including the management of supervision, annual appraisals, peer meetings and supporting the training and development of our admin workforce.
We recognise that administrators are professionals and are a valuable asset to our organisation. We understand that they have a key role in the support and delivery of our services and that their contribution helps us in achieving our aim of consistently providing safe and high quality care for our service users. The kind of care that we would want for ourselves and our loved ones.
Staff recognition is very important to us and we work closely with colleagues from across the trust to support development, the staff voice and to recognise teams and individuals through our Greatix and Star Award schemes, highlighting the outstanding work being done every day.
We nurture the recovery journey of anyone in need of our help. In Our Trust, everyone has a say in how they are supported and treated because we listen to every person in our care until they feel understood. Our patients, their families and carers work together with us towards better mental health.
We're committed to new thinking that improves the wellbeing of our region. We connect with our communities and partners to get mental health care right, in areas that really need it.
Being part of the Trust and adult services, it also means that we want our staff have a great experience at work and have opportunities to progress their ambition and personal development.
