Administration Assistant

Are you or someone you know, seeking an opportunity to earn while you learn?

If the answer is yes, we may just have the vacancy for you.

Dental HealthCare Cambridgeshire has an exciting opportunity for a caring, enthusiastic and motivated Administrator to join our existing team. We have a vacancy open in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk and this is a unique opportunity to work within the NHS and the community dental service.

You will work with multi-disciplinary healthcare teams within the dental service who pride themselves on delivering the Trusts objectives and the vision to improve the health and wellbeing of people across the diverse communities we serve.

Discretion and attention to detail is paramount for this post. You must also be proficient in Microsoft Word and Excel.

You will be supported by an experienced dental team, your work place mentor and your line manager.

The Dental Service aims to deliver high quality dental care in a patient centred environment and dental public health work with the community. The work is wide ranging and includes working with vulnerable patients.

Quality of care is valued and the service has won several awards to acknowledge its commitment to patient care. Clinics have BDA Good Practice Scheme recognition, are well staffed, equipped and computerised.

The position is for a fixed term of 6 months, 25 hours per week, Monday to Friday.

During your placement you will be assigned a learning mentor who will guide and support. You will also be supported through our Employability programme and a network of colleagues.

As part of our safe recruitment practice pre-employment checks will be undertaken before any appointment is confirmed which may include a Disclosure and Barring check and where the position requires you to drive as part of your everyday duties, you will be asked to validate your driving licence online via the DVLA. We will also use technology to ensure the documents you provide are genuine.

Successful applicants to posts at band 6 or above for which a DBS check is required, will be asked to pay for this as a condition of their job offer (£44 for an Enhanced Check or £27 for a Standard Check). This payment will be deducted from their first month’s salary unless a longer pay back period is agreed with the appointing manager. This will not apply to successful applicants who are registered with the DBS Update Service and in possession of the disclosure certificate, for whom an online status check will be undertaken.

In submitting an application form, you authorise Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust, to confirm any previous NHS service details via the Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) process should you be appointed to the post.
