Assurance Co-ordinator

Job overview

The Trust Assurance Team is looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our dynamic team to carry out the role of Assurance Co-ordinator.  

This is an exciting time to be working at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, one of the largest NHS Trusts in the UK, with a national and international reputation both for the excellence of its services and its role in teaching and research.  The Assurance team sits within the Corporate Directorate and is responsible for overseeing and advising on the Accreditation, Regulation, Assurance and Risk agenda and associated activities, (including Peer Review, Care Assurance and the Oxford Scheme for Clinical Accreditation [OxSCA]), across the Trust in conjunction with the Head of Accreditation and Regulation and the Assurance Manager.

The post holder will be:

·         highly organised with an acute attention to detail,

·      motivated to work under their own initiative in a rapidly changing environment in order to meet tight deadlines, 

·    curious and keen to learn, with a desire to work with the team to develop new ideas which will continuously improve the services offered,   

·    an excellent communicator with an ability to encourage effective participation of people at all levels,

·   computer literate with skills in the suite of Microsoft 365 applications.  

Advert

The role of the Assurance Co-ordinator is varied, and the post holder will confidently communicate with managers and clinicians throughout the Trust in order to be successful in the role.  The post holder will also liaise with external providers and regulators.

The Trust currently uses a range of governance, risk, compliance and information monitoring software systems.  Experience of Ulysses monitoring systems is beneficial but by no means essential as full training of the system will be given to the successful applicant as part of their induction plan. 

Whilst administration is a fundamental component of the post, this is also a customer facing role and communication skills are key to your success.  Experience in a healthcare, sales or a training role would be an advantage for this role but is not essential.  Importantly, you will emulate the Trust’s values throughout your interactions. 

OUH Cowley, at Unipart, is our base, however hybrid/remote and flexible working options may be provided to suit the needs of the successful candidate. At OUH Cowley we offer great facilities for our staff including the art room restaurant, a café, free car parking, all on site.  Meetings with clinicians may well take place on Trust hospital sites, for which there is a shuttle bus.

If you would like to be part of a small, friendly dynamic team, we would love to hear from you.
