Someone highly organised, reliable and confident managing a busy schedule across split sites
Experience in administration or business management
Strong communication skills and the ability to build positive working relationships
A problem‑solver who can prioritise, plan ahead and keep things running to time

What you’ll get from us

A supportive Trust and leadership team
Training, development and progression opportunities
A healthy work‑life balance
Free Employee Assistance Programme
