NHS administration staff play an important role in the day-to-day running of the hospital. As the UK provides a universal healthcare, cashiers specialise in collecting National Health Service benefits from the British Government, rather than dealing with cash payments.
Nhs admin teams are responsible for the processing and lodgement of claims made by patients that are eligible to receive government subsidised healthcare under the National Health Service.
Some qualities that are essential in the role of a Nhs admin officer is the ability to focus on attention to details, as some of the claims procedures can prove to be complex. The ability to work unsupervised is also a positive skill that many potential employers look for in an NHS administrator.
To be considered for this role, a sound knowledge of medical procedures is necessary in many cases. Experience in finance roles is a plus, with the average wage for such positions starting at roughly £12,000 per year.
