We are advertising for one position as a Band 3 Emergency Department (ED) & AAU administrator for Barnet Hospital. The post holder will be expected to work dynamically across both areas of the hot floor in the ED and AAU clinical spaces.
The (ED) and (AAU) administrator(s) are responsible for providing a front-line reception service and administrative function to the hot floor (ED + AAU + AEC + Hot Clinics) and for delivering a high standard of customer care to a wide range of client groups, including the ward’s multi-disciplinary team, patients, relatives and their carers.
