  The successful applicant will be reliable and able to provide a confidential, quality administration and telephone service.

  A high standard of word processing is essential, and you will be experienced in the use of Microsoft Word, Excel & Outlook. Knowledge of SystmOne would be a distinct advantage.

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
