Main duties of the job

The post holder will be integral to Dartford & Gravesham NHS Trust's implementation of Clinical System Developments by undertaking the administrative and account-setup functions for the Training Team.

The nature of the role involves unpredictable work patterns due to the high number of ad hoc queries, training and assistance requests from all departments within the Trust.

Part of the role will involve developing as a Trainee Trainer.

The trainer aspect of the role will increase as certain admin. functions decrease with the introduction of electronic bookings, but is not anticipated to exceed more than 1 day per week in the first year and not more than 2 days per week in the second year. However, providing admin. is completely up to date, more training time will be possible.

There is potential to move into a training post in the team, but this will be dependent on vacancies and on service requirements in an environment where digital developments rapidly change.
