RTC Administrator - South West

Job summary

Join a team that helps save and improve lives every day ...

Are you an organised multi-tasker who enjoys building connections and making a difference behind the scenes? As the Administrator for the South West Regional Transfusion Committee (RTC), youll play a key role in supporting work that helps ensure blood is used safely and effectively across hospitals in the region.

This is a regular part-time, hybrid role working 20 hours per week, with a combination of home and on-site working, rather than a casual or ad hoc position. Your designated work base will be NHSBTs Bristol Filton centre, and you will need to be based in the South West region.

Your working days and hours will be agreed with your line manager to meet the needs of the role, including the availability and clinical commitments of the RTC Chair and other key stakeholders. Some flexibility will be required to support meetings and events.

This varied and rewarding role involves coordinating meetings, projects and educational events that bring together healthcare professionals, patient representatives and partners to share best practice and improve patient outcomes.

Working as part of a friendly, professional team, youll use your communication and organisational skills to keep everything running smoothly. Youll also have opportunities to work independently, take ownership of your tasks and make a valuable contribution to the committees work.

Main duties of the job

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the committees activities and maintaining good relationships across the region by handling telephone and written enquiries professionally.
• Arranging face-to-face and online meetings for the RTC, Regional Transfusion Team (RTT) and other working groups.
• Preparing and distributing agendas, minutes, action logs and supporting papers to RTC members, the wider healthcare community, the NHSBT Hospital Liaison team and relevant national contacts.
• Assisting with the organisation of educational events, including liaising with exhibitors, delegates and venue staff, and attending events to help ensure they run smoothly.
• Undertaking specific projects as directed by the RTT, such as providing administrative support for pilot initiatives to develop new patient information.
• Designing and distributing regional audits and surveys, analysing responses and reporting findings to Hospital Transfusion Committees and the RTC.
• Tracking and recording income and expenditure against the RTC budget, preparing financial statements that include projected expenditure, and exercising budget or signatory authority within agreed limits.
• Liaising with the relevant website team to keep the RTCs online information up to date.
