Is business administration repetitive or boring?
It's neither, this couldn't be further from the truth, the NHS must be well organised and keep detailed records of patients and staff across several wards.
You'll support the ability for patients or other organisations to see or speak to the right person at the right time who can give them the help they need.
This could be booking an appointment, getting medical advice, or helping a patient navigate the trust when they visit.

- To assist the Speech and Language Therapists in the Adult Community based service in carrying out clinical tasks and administrative support in locations across Berkshire
