A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen within our friendly Medical Directorate here at Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust. We are looking to recruit for the position of Executive Assistant to the Medical Director. This is a great opportunity for anyone looking to progress as a senior administrator or to expand their knowledge of how the Medical Directorate runs within an NHS Trust. You must hold a full valid driving licence and access to a car to use regularly for business purposes – including business insurance – is essential (unless you have a disability as defined by the Equality Act 2010). This is a busy, varied role in which the postholder will work autonomously, exercising judgment and initiative, with excellent written and verbal skills, whilst confidently managing and maintaining complex electronic diaries and making informed judgements based on the understanding of the competing demands of the Medical Director’s role. A knowledge and confident ability to use technology to support hybrid meetings is essential.
