Requirements

What we're looking for

Experience of supervising and coordinating a clerical or administrative team on a day-to-day basis, including managing workloads, staff rotas, shift patterns and electronic rostering systems. Experience of authorising annual and study leave, coordinating cover for sickness and other absences, and ensuring appropriate staffing levels are maintained.

The post holder will supervise a large Ward Clerk team, supporting the delivery of an efficient and consistent ward-based administrative service. This will include ensuring the accurate and timely recording of patient activity on Trust systems, coordinating departmental workloads and providing Ward Clerk cover when necessary.

The role requires excellent communication skills and the ability to communicate sensitively and effectively with patients, clinical staff, administrative colleagues, other Trust departments and external agencies.

The role

Are you an organised and motivated leader, or someone ready to take the next step in your career? Specialty and Integrated Medicine CSU is excited to offer an excellent opportunity for a Ward Clerk Supervisor to join our team, supporting specialty wards across St James's University Hospital.

This is a rewarding role at the heart of patient services, where no two days are the same. Working within a fast paced and ever evolving hospital environment, you'll play a vital part in ensuring our wards run smoothly while helping to deliver the highest standards of patient care.

We're looking for an enthusiastic and proactive individual who enjoys leading people, embraces variety, and takes pride in providing high quality administrative support that makes a real difference. Whether you're an experienced supervisor or looking to step into your next leadership role, this position offers a fantastic opportunity to develop and grow.

As Ward Clerk Supervisor, you'll lead and support a large team of ward clerks across multiple specialty wards, providing day to day guidance, encouragement, and direction to help the team succeed. You'll work closely with medical, and administrative colleagues, building strong relationships and ensuring effective communication across all areas.

The role offers plenty of variety, from coordinating workloads and maintaining service standards to arranging cover during periods of absence and responding to the changing needs of the service. You'll be a key part of ensuring efficient clerical and operational support is delivered across the wards.

To succeed in this role, you'll need a good standard of general education, previous administrative or clerical experience, and excellent communication and organisational skills.

If you're passionate about leading teams, enjoy working in a dynamic environment, and are committed to delivering excellent support services, we'd love to hear from you.

Join us and play a key role in supporting exceptional patient care while leading a dedicated and valued team.
