An opportunity has arisen for a motivated and enthusiastic person to join the Falls Assessment and Education Service as an administrator. The FAES service is a small team of Specialist Clinicians and Health & Exercise Practitioners who serve the population of Gloucestershire to reduce the risk of falls and to raise awareness of falls prevention.
This post is for 18.75 hours to join our current part-time administrator. Ideally we are looking for the successful candidate to be available on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, although we can offer some flexibility on this. The post holder will be required to work both from our base at Invista and also at Cirencester hospital.

We are looking to appoint a reliable and organised individual with an administrative background, with a great eye for detail and a warm and friendly telephone manner. You will be part of a friendly, supportive team, managing your own workload in order to support the effective delivery of the service.

• To provide effective administrative support to the multi disciplinary team.
• To be the main point of contact for people accessing both the assessment service and the public education aspects of the service. This will involve providing non-clinical advice and information related to referrals and appointments.
• To adopt a constantly flexible team working approach to ensure that all individual and team objectives are completed efficiently and within given timescales
• To be able to plan and have responsibility for own work by developing an understanding the flow of work/priorities through the service

The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are underlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.
We have a skilled and dedicated workforce of over 5000 colleagues working in a diverse range of services over 55 sites and within people’s homes. We strive to enable a welcoming workplace culture that builds and celebrates civility, inclusivity and diversity, while providing a sense of belonging and trust.
Annual staff surveys, regular Pulse surveys and other engagement opportunities provide our people with lots of opportunity to tell us about their experiences of working with us. In the latest staff survey, 61% of colleagues gave us their views. It was great to hear that:
72% of colleagues would recommend the Trust as a place to work, ranking us 1st for Provider Trusts in the South West region on this question.
76% would recommend the standard of care provided in our services if a friend or relative needed treatment, also ranking us 1st in the South West region.
81% said that care of patients and service users is the Trust’s priority, compared with an average in comparable NHS Trusts in England of 64%.

This high-level overview shows we are in a healthy position, with higher scores than average for comparable organisations, alongside a great response rate, indicating good staff engagement. However, we also know we have plenty of room for improvement in many areas. To that end, we continue to prioritise and invest in our commitment to genuinely becoming a Great Place to Work with consistent top-quartile performance in the annual staff survey and Pulse surveys.
