Barts Health NHS Trust was formed on 1st April 2012 from a merger of Barts and The London NHS Trust, Whipps Cross University Hospitals NHS Trust and Newham University Hospitals NHS Trust.

Based at Prescot Street near Aldgate, the Corporate Records Management team is part of the Trust’s Information Governance department.

The team manages a Records Centre for the storage of many different types of non-current corporate records, provides records management policy and strategy advice and guidance to the Trust, and ensures compliance with the Freedom of Information Act and several sections of the NHS Information Governance Toolkit.

A fixed term full-time contract is available until 5th July 2013 to provide cover for maternity leave within the Corporate Records Management team at Barts Health NHS Trust.

The successful candidate will be able to meet the requirements of the person specification and be able to start work as soon as possible (whilst the role is a full-time post, requests for part time working will be considered for the right person).

You will manage the Records Centre on a daily basis, ensuring efficient processing of enquiries, accessions and disposals of a wide range of record types originating from almost all departments across the Trust.

You will work closely with the Corporate Records Manager to support the Trust’s Records Management Policy and Strategy, develop procedures and guidance, liaise with departments and promote best practice in records management for both manual and electronic records.

This is a fast-paced, fast–changing and pressured environment with many exciting challenges over the next few months for records management, resulting from the recent merger of three organisations and the development of a new Electronic Records Management system for Health Records.

Happy to work alone as well as being part of a small professional team, you should have a post-graduate qualification in archives and/or records management and as such be able to demonstrate understanding of the latest professional standards, legislation, theories and practice in records management, both manual and electronic. You must be able to work in a fast-paced, pressured environment, multi-task many obligations, have practical experience of working in a Records Centre environment with a variety of types of records, and a keen interest and enthusiasm for both Records Management and Freedom of Information.

The post-holder must be capable of undertaking frequent manual handling duties.
