Your role and responsibilities
The Patient Coordinators are responsible for the efficient through put of cases across all departments of the practice.

Working closely with all clinical teams and The Senior Leadership Team you will be responsible for overseeing the scheduling of the day, to include timely management of emergencies and prevention of delays.

You will work closely and collaboratively with the Head of Nursing Services (HONS), Clinical Director (CD), Team Leaders and Leads across the Practice to ensure the effective delivery of outstanding patient care.

You will work enthusiastically with the nursing team to help maintain a happy and effective working environment, whilst ensuring practice and group polices are always adhered to.

This role requires strong, decisive decision making and problem solving along with clear and effective communication.


As a Patient Coordinator you would work in a small team alongside our current team of coordinators to achieve the key goals of the role.

The role is a mix between clinical and non-clinical (administrative tasks) but is based within the clinical heart of the hospital.

The administrative tasks are focused on the efficient scheduling of diagnostics, liaising with anaesthesia, theatre uses and to adapt as required.

The management of patient accommodation is also combined with the clinical aspect of assisting with the initial patient admission when required.

This is a varied and fast paced role, allowing a variation from a traditional clinical nursing role without being away from the clinical environment, therefore the position would suit an experienced RVN looking for a new challenge.

This is a full-time position Monday-Friday working 8 hour shifts between 8am-6.30pm.

Weekends would be worked on a 1:4 rotation, 8 hours shifts between 6.30am-6.30pm, along with participation in the Bank holiday rota.
