How You’ll Make a Difference
Our Clinical Floor Coordinator will be instrumental in the effective and efficient running of the clinical floor across all referral disciplines in the hospital, which will include Anaesthesia, Cardiology, Dermatology, Diagnostic Imaging, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Oncology, Ophthalmology and Orthopaedics & Soft Tissue Surgery. Reporting into the Clinical Nursing Manager, the Clinical Floor Coordinator is responsible for ensuring the clinical floor runs effectively and efficiently by taking a central role in planning the day’s referral procedures, and leading the teams to complete their individual work flows as scheduled. Due to the dynamic nature of referral and emergency work, the workflows of each department will be subject to change, and this will require decisive action and the reallocation of resources. You will not be required to undertake clinical work as standard, but you must be able to demonstrate a high level of clinical knowledge.
