Job overview

We are offering an exciting opportunity for a motivated and talented individual to support our administration team within the pathology service at NUH.

This role is full time and based predominantly at the Queens Medical Centre campus, but may require cross site working on occasions. Flexible working options will be considered as agreed with the wider team. Due to the nature of this work you will need to work onsite in Nottingham.

To be considered for this position you will have 4 GCSEs or equivalent including English, knowledge and experience of using software programmes, e.g. Microsoft Office and previous experience of office / secretarial or similar relevant role. You must be able to work with minimum supervision. Keyboard skills are a requirement for this role, as is the ability to perform tasks requiring manual dexterity. Preference will be given to those applicants with experience of providing administrative support within a quality management environment but this is NOT essential.

If you are someone who is a great communicator with a keen eye for detail and outstanding organisational skills we would love to hear from you.

Main duties of the job

As our Quality Administrator you will be working directly with the senior management team and the Quality and Training Manager to maintain and develop the management systems for service, develop and maintain the quality databases, plan and perform audits, present findings and contribute to reports and standard operating procedures.

You will be the first point of contact for our staff and external callers via email or telephone acknowledging queries and providing responses, triaging or escalating communications as appropriate.

In addition you will work closely with the Lead Administrators to support all aspects of the management system including the receipt, collection, handling, production and distribution of written materials and electronic records and in organising meetings and taking minutes.

You will work with the PathIT team to support aspects of the quality and operational management systems that require collection and processing of data.

Working for our organisation

The histopathology laboratory is a large NHS laboratory serving both campuses in Nottingham, dealing with 68,342 requests equating to 110,353 surgical specimens including 7000 non-gynaecological cytology specimens. A busy mortuary provides services in morbid anatomy to Nottingham, Lincoln and Sherwood Forest Hospitals, and to local Coroners, with a volume of 1500 cases per year. Regional services are provided for neuropathology, paediatric surgical and perinatal pathology.

We have 24.5 WTE consultant staff and 3.5 WTE academic staff with honorary consultant contracts, 21 WTE A+C staff and 113 technical and scientific staff across the whole service.

Service is forward thinking and will be going live with Digital Pathology implementation for primary reporting towards the latter part of this year and a new LIMS system in the next 12-18 months.
