The permanent, full-time post is advertised at Band 4, with a salary of £28,392 to £31,157 a year, pro-rata.

The successful candidate will provide comprehensive administrative, secretarial and organisational support to two Deputy Chief Nurses, the Assistant Director of Allied Health Professionals and the Assistant Director of Professional Practice (Nursing).

Day-to-day duties include managing complex electronic diaries, coordinating meetings, preparing agendas and meeting papers, taking accurate minutes and monitoring actions. The post holder will also produce high-quality reports, presentations and correspondence, maintain filing and workforce records, and handle confidential information relating to recruitment, employee relations, serious incidents, complaints and governance.

The Trust is looking for a professional, proactive and adaptable individual who can manage competing priorities and work independently, using initiative and judgement. Proven experience of diary management, minute taking, meeting coordination and the use of Microsoft 365 applications is essential, along with excellent communication and organisational skills and the highest standards of confidentiality and professionalism.

The role is based at Units 7 and 8, Meadow Park, Meadow Lane, St Ives, PE27 4LG, with flexible working available.
