Administration Hub Team Leader (Highbridge / Taunton / Yeovil)
Within SymphonyHealthcare Services we continue to expand the innovative way in which we manage general practice work. Symphony has a well-established Administration Hub that processes the clinical administration received from hospitals and other healthcare providers to support our clinical teams to work to the top of their licence and focus on patient care.
The Administration Hub is split across three locations in Yeovil, Taunton and Highbridge and the Administration Hub Team Leader would be a key figure to support members of the team within these locations from training, auditing and line management.
Accurate and efficient administration is vitally important to help patients to move onto the next step in their healthcare journey safely and to provide them with access to the right information about their health when they need it.
This is achieved by the effective handling (and standardisation) of clinical documentation, patient paper records, parts of the patient registration process, non-NHS private work related to the patient as well as other administrative tasks.
We are looking for a dynamic individual with strong EMIS and coding experience to join the team to ensure its continued development and success.
We are offering a permanent, part time post of 24 hours per week. Working pattern (days and times) will be discussed at interview stage.
The rate of pay for this post is £13.68 per hour.
Please see the attached links and documents for more information.

* Support and guide the team to achieve a high-level performance/quality which will align with the Administration Hub set objectives.

* Induct all new staff members into the team and monitor their progress and complete training requirements or signpost to the correct person/department in the company

About us
Symphony Healthcare Services (Symphony) was established in 2016 as part of the award-winning Symphony Programme Vanguard, developing new models of care. We now support 20 practices across Somerset and East Devon, providing care for over 120,000 patients.

Providing NHS services is at the heart of what we do. Our vision is to ensure that primary care is sustainable for patients and practices in Somerset, and we aim to be a national exemplar for primary care provision. We work closely with our practice teams to support, develop and transform patient care and working practices with innovation and technology at the heart of what we do.
Symphony welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and underrepresented groups. When undertaking recruitment and selection for our services, Symphony are committed to equality of opportunity for all.
