Assistant Medical Secretary
The closing date is 11 October 2026
Job summary
Have you ever thought about working for the NHS?
Behind every appointment, every clinic, every patient seen – there is someone who made it happen.
Our Assistant Medical Secretaries are the unseen heroes of patient care. The reassuring voice on the phone. The organised mind behind the clinic list. The calm presence supporting patients in what can often be their most worrying moments. Without them, patients don’t get seen. Services don’t run. Care doesn’t flow.
We are recruiting an administrator to join our Gastroenterology team at Grimsby Hospital, to cover a period of Maternity. You don’t need previous NHS experience – we can teach you the systems. What we can’t teach is compassion, professionalism and the ability to care about getting things right for patients. That’s what we’re looking for.
Main duties of the job
What you’ll bring:
- A caring and compassionate approach
- Confidence communicating with patients and the public
- Good organisational skills and attention to detail
- Basic IT skills (typing, email, data entry, use of computer systems)
- The ability to work as part of a close-knit team
- Calmness in a sometimes fast-paced environment
What you’ll gain:
- The chance to make a real difference every single day
- One of the best pension schemes available
- Generous annual leave entitlement – because you work hard and deserve proper time off
- Structured training and ongoing support
- Genuine career progression – many of our senior leaders began in administrative roles
Patient care is at the heart of everything we do, and our administrative teams are central to making that care possible. If you are organised, compassionate, and want a role where your work truly matters, we would love to hear from you.
