The Hospice needs to employ experienced bank workers who can be available to work on an occasional basis to cover the planned absences of administrative staff. This may be for single or part days, or part or whole weeks depending on the service to be covered.

The role entails working for a number of specialist clinical departments and at times for non-clinical departments. While you will receive training in the requirements for the different roles, excellent organisational skills are essential and experience of working under pressure using the range of Microsoft packages are critical.

You must also have experience of administrative work dealing with the public, ideally in a healthcare environment carrying out a variety of administrative work.

As part of providing a professional image for the hospice, you will need to demonstrate a caring and sympathetic manner to all those you have contact with and maintain excellent standards of customer care

Bank assignments are on an as and when required basis and there is no commitment on either side to offer or accept assignments, however assignments are more often than not for a duration of three or more days in any one week’’
