What is the difference between an admin assistant and a ward clerk?

Question

On the website the job title is stated as admin assistant. But when I downloaded the additional documents containing more information about that job, the title was changed to ward clerk. Is it still worth applying for?

Answer 1

Yes its still worth applying, raise it with them if you get to interview stage.

Answer 2

A 'ward clerk' may be another name for 'hospital unit clerk/coordinator' or 'unit secretary' within a hospital at the nursing unit desk.  That kind of job is said to be somewhat stressful just fyi :)
