Patient Pathway Co-ordinator

Job overview

Following the introduction of HIVE, our electronic patient record system, the roles and processes for our administrative staff have changed significantly.  Our consultants and some of our specialist nurses need a new kind of support to help them support patients through our complex pathways.  We are a fabulous team and are looking for new people to join us.  You might be at the beginning of your career and want to gain some experience to grow into more senior administrative/managerial roles in the future.  You might want a career change and move into the NHS for the first time.  Or you might already on that journey and want to gain some difference experience in the Division of Medicine.

Advert

We’re looking for people who are keen to develop, are organised and adaptable.  You do need to have good computer skills and be able to follow rules and regulations in terms of our responsibilities in managing patients waiting for appointments and treatments.

You will need to have good communication skills and enjoy working with different colleagues across the organisation.  You should also feel comfortable talking to patients either on the telephone or face to face. 

The roles we have available are a variety of secretarial, administrative, and clerical roles.  Some would be managing general inpatient and outpatient pathways.  Postholders may work in specific services such as Bone Health, TIA,  Hospital at Home or Parkinsons Disease services.  The positions would be across most of our hospital sites (Wythenshawe, Withington, and Trafford).  A rotation for these roles may be available if the successful candidates are keen on gaining a variety of experience, and extended roles to support the nursing teams may also be available.
