An exciting opportunity has arisen for enthusiastic and self-motivated individuals to join and work within the Cancer MDT team to support and cover the Multidisciplinary Team Meetings (MDTs).

We are looking for someone who is passionate about cancer services and delivering improved outcomes for our patients.

You must be able to organise and prioritise your own workload to meet the requirements of the role and have a flexible, confident and competent approach.

You will be required to function and communicate effectively and professionally with a wide range of professional staff, internal departments and external organisations.

This role requires a high level of data accuracy, good organisational and interpersonal skills.


The core purpose of the MDT Coordinator is to provide consistent patient-centred focus throughout the pathway of care, by providing one point of contact along the administration pathway for the Multidisciplinary Teams (MDTs).

This will ensure coordination of the patient journey, especially for patients that need to move between cancer units and cancer centres.

The MDT Coordinator will be responsible for tracking the patient along their care pathway with the team and identifying potential breaches of cancer waiting times and targets.

The role will ensure that all relevant patients are discussed at MDT meetings with supporting clinical information.

Also, accurate prescriptive data collection and recording to enable effective patient tracking of all suspected and positively diagnosed cancer patients.


The post holder will be responsible for the coordination and organisation of the multi-disciplinary team meetings, and will attend these meetings obtaining and recording relevant information.

He/she will collect, record and report cancer information as required in order to meet both national and local requirements.

The post holder will be responsible for the coordination of reports, investigations, radiology results and clinic appointments.


The post holder will work closely with all the site specific coordinators helping to provide cover for planned and unplanned leave.

Along with providing support for new coordinators.

  • Value each other "We all value each other's contribution"
