Band 3 Bank Administrator

NHS AfC: Band 3

Job overview

An opportunity has arisen for a Bank Administrator covering the Bromley Area.   This is a hybrid post,  consisting of agile work but you would be expected to work in the Bromley Office 2 days per week.  High-cost area allowance will apply to this role where there is a service requirement to routinely work from the London base and/or to be available to work within the local operational area (a minimum of 40% of contracted hours).  

This is a bank post with no guaranteed regular hours.

You will be expected to complete data entry tasks using a variety of computer-based programs.  Experience of MS Office packages is essential.  Experience of using healthcare systems would be an advantage (for example Easy, ESR, ISFE, ADAM/CMS) but training will be available for the right candidate.  Fast and accurate data entry skills are required. 
There are times when you will be the first point of contact for MLCSU, liaising with patients/carers/stakeholders etc so you should be an experienced communicator, using your own initiative, escalating issues appropriately and in a timely manner when they cannot be resolved first-hand

Experience of co-ordinating meetings and events, preparing the necessary paperwork and taking notes would be advantageous.  

You should have a working knowledge of Information Governance/DPA and FOI requests, ensuring MLCSU’s working policies and practices are  adhered to.

Main duties of the job

You must have a flexible and adaptable approach to your work with the ability and resilience to regularly deal with a range of routine and non-routine administrative tasks, as required, to deliver an efficient and effective service.

You’ll be dealing with a variety of communications from patients/carers/stakeholders/staff, so you’ll need to be an experienced communicator who can work intuitively to help troubleshoot problems and escalate appropriately when issues cannot be resolved first-hand.

Experience of MS Office packages (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, MS Teams) is essential.  Experience of using healthcare systems would be an advantage, for example Easy, ESR, ISFE, ADAM/CMS but training will be available for the right candidate.
