Mental Health Act Administrator
Department: Site Support Roles
Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time
Location: Priory Hospital Ticehurst
Compensation: £27,946 / year
Description
Priory Hospital Ticehurst House is looking to recruit a Mental Health Act Administrator to join the team. This is a full time 37.5 hours role.
Set within 48 acres of beautiful landscaped gardens in a small village in East Sussex, Priory Ticehurst House is an idyllic location which allows us to provide a highly therapeutic environment, making us the perfect place for people staying with us to begin their recovery. We work collaboratively with the discharge teams to ensure a smooth transition back into existing community services, or to an individual's home, where possible.
Priory's acute services aim to allow more people to be treated closer to home and we support the NHS to repatriate out-of-area patients back to local areas.
What you'll be doing
You'll be part of a dedicated and compassionate team, all working together to ensure the smooth running of the hospital and to support the wellbeing of our patients. While your role doesn't involve providing direct care, your contribution is vital in helping to maintain a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for everyone. Whether you're assisting with day-to-day operations, keeping things organised, or ensuring our spaces are well looked after, your support plays an important part in creating a positive experience for those who live and work here.
What you'll bring to the role
Our work is rewarding but can be challenging, so resilience is key. No two days are the same! Your natural empathy will help you support others through both the highs and lows.
The ideal candidate will have a good standard of general education, including GCSEs (or equivalent) in Maths and English, and be competent in the use of Microsoft Office. They will be confident in supporting and advising staff on the administrative requirements of the Mental Health Act (MHA), with the ability to understand, interpret and apply relevant legislation and current case law relating to the Act. They will thrive in a fast-paced environment, demonstrating the ability to work under pressure and effectively prioritise in response to constantly changing demands. In addition, they will possess excellent written and verbal communication skills, as the role involves regular telephone and face-to-face communication with colleagues, clinical staff, the Mental Health Tribunal, CQC, solicitors, other mental health service providers, service users and their relatives.

What we will give you in return
We want you to succeed at Priory and thrive in your role. You will be well supported with regular career conversations. We also offer full training and numerous pathways into leadership and qualified clinical positions to help you shape your career with us.
