We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated people to come and work for us as patient access coordinators in our Oncology Outpatients Unit. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a fast paced team, successful candidates should ideally have previous NHS or customer service experience, with a proven record of working well both within a team and individually. The Patient Access Co-ordinator will be the first point of contact for patients and service users providing an in depth knowledge of outpatient and inpatient scheduling procedures for their speciality. The Patient Access Co-ordinator will liaise closely with the clinical team and speciality management teams to ensure patients receive timely and appropriate appointments according to their care pathway.

This will ensure that, at every contact with the Trust, patients are able to speak to staff who understand their scheduling needs and that clinical teams are always supported by knowledgeable administrative staff.
