Administrator and Patient Booking Clerk - UEC

We are looking for an enthusiastic and organised Administrator to join our Urgent and Emergency Care (UEC) reception team. As the first point of contact for patients, relatives, and visitors, you will play a key role in ensuring the smooth and efficient running of both Emergency department and Same Day Emergency Care., The post holder will provide high quality front line administrative support to the Emergency Department (ED) and Same Day Emergency Care Department (SDEC).

This involves collaborating closely with all clinical staff and operational teams. The post holder will work as part of the Urgent and Emergency Care (UEC) team ensuring an efficient, high-quality service is provided. This includes providing a welcoming and professional service to patients, relatives, and all other agencies. These duties do not require direct supervision on a day-to-day basis and the post holder is responsible for the management and prioritisation of their own workload.

The staff will need to be flexible, have a range of knowledge of hospital work and external agencies. Staff are expected to work shift patterns, including nights and weekends where they will work independently under pressure with constant interruptions to their daily workload and exposed to conflict and sensitive issues. This is a busy and fast-paced environment, and the successful candidate will be approachable, patient-focused, and able to work well under pressure.
