Overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen within the extremely busy Health Records Department at Stepping Hill Hospital. The successful applicant will belong to an important integrated Health Records service provided 365 days of the year. This is a training and audit role which supports a very busy fast paced reception and clinic preparation team. The ability to work on your own initiative to support the management of the Health Records team and present a quality service to all users is essential. You will also be required to work closely with the other members of the management team. Knowledge of Health Records procedures and systems, specifically Patient Centre, is essential. You must be organised, numerate, methodical and thorough with an enthusiastic and motivated approach to work. People skills and acceptance of constant changes in the workplace are essential. Staff management experience would be an advantage, but more important will be people and organisational skills.
We hold a unique position in the Stockport community as the provider of healthcare and we are one of its largest employers. We believe that the best organisations are those that reflect the communities they serve. We are therefore seeking to improve the diversity of our workforce to make it truly representative of our local population.
