Our therapies include Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT), Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

We are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic Team Administrator to join our team for 15 hours per week including Friday.

The team administrator is a key member of IPTS valued by everyone in the service. It is an interesting and varied role and we’d like to find someone with good humour who enjoys the challenge of a busy working environment. Training will be provided.

The role involves working with the administration team on a wide variety of tasks to support the service including reception, answering incoming calls, preparing and sending letters and emails, scoring of psychometric tests, stationery ordering and supporting the clinical team.

You will need excellent IT skills, strong organisational capabilities, proven time management and diary management skills. Having the ability to effectively prioritise your workload and manage conflicting demands is essential. As a pivotal point of contact you will need to be able to build effective working relationships, have a calm, friendly approach and be able to ensure good levels of communication between yourself and the team with a high level of tact and discretion.
