About the Role:

Can you bring professionalism, initiative and strong organisational skills to a role that directly supports women, babies and families?

As a key member of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology team, you will provide high-quality administrative and secretariat support to senior medical and midwifery leaders, helping to keep the service running smoothly. You will manage calendars, coordinate meetings and committee activities, prepare and distribute documentation, respond to enquiries, organise travel and accommodation, process leave and timesheets, and support accounts payable and receivable functions. The role also involves maintaining accurate records in line with legislative requirements and providing flexible administrative support across the service. Working in a fast-paced healthcare environment, you will play an important role in supporting the delivery of safe, person- and family-centred care for women, babies and their families.

The ideal candidate will be highly organised, detail-oriented and customer-focused, with the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver high-quality support services. You will take responsibility for planning your own work goals and priorities to align with Business Unit and team outcomes, while maintaining accountability for allocated tasks and mandatory training requirements. Comfortable working both collaboratively and independently, you will contribute to a positive team culture and bring a proactive, adaptable approach to supporting a busy healthcare service.
