A catch up with our administration colleagues

What's it like to work in admin in the NHS?

We have more than 200 people working in our admin teams across the trust – they are essential in the running of the NHS and it’s a fulfilling and interesting career. Our administrative teams at NCH&C are crucial in helping us deliver outstanding health and care to our patients, and support to their families and carers.

Administrative roles at NCH&C are hugely varied, and include jobs such as ward clerks, inpatient admin assistants, medical secretaries, receptionists, and personal assistants – to name a few.

Recently, we went out to interview some of our admin colleagues about their role, what they find rewarding and challenging in their jobs for our new trust podcast, The Handover. We spoke to Sam – Peripatetic Administrator in the North; Caitlin – Administrator for the Community Access Team; Lucy from the Single Point of Contact Team; Kim from Central Booking; and Rebecca – Ward Clerk at Kelling Hospital (all pictured above).

Listen here to what they had to say:
