  Administrator

  I was employed part-time, averaging 15 hours per week.Within this role, I did data input, from audio notes and written notes. I maintained the office, improved the filing system and created spreadsheets with client details to mainstream data input. I assisted therapists in diary management, including organising meetings and team events.I corresponded with clients, the public and other therapists on an as-needed basis using the telephone, email, face-to-face, and over Zoom/Teams.I created rehabilitation resources, for both children and adults, as required by therapists with minimal supervision.I built my understanding of medical and disability jargon, as well as increased my general understanding of the role SLT has within the rehabilitation space.I used various software, such as GenSolve Practice Manager, to input data and ensure client records were accurate. I was fortunate to forge excellent personal and professional relationships with other members in the team. Show less
