Band 4 Independent Sector Coordinator

The closing date is 5th Feb 2023

Job summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen for three individuals to join the Elective Care Hub Team at UHB as Independent Sector Coordinator's.

As a result of the COVID 19 pandemic and subsequent disruption of elective activity across the NHS, some patients have been waiting an extended period of time for treatment. The focus of the Elective Care Hub team is on elective recovery, working across the system to enable patients to be seen as quickly and safely as possible. This includes working closely with internal UHB colleagues, external Birmingham and Solihull system colleagues as well as local independent sector providers.

The Independent Sector Coordinator role is a fantastic opportunity to develop your operational and administrative career within the NHS. The successful candidates will undertake a wide variety of administrative and operational tasks as well as liaising with key stakeholders internally and across the system. The role will also require updating and tracking of spreadsheets, creating and maintaining reports, managing competing workloads as well as juggling and prioritising work as necessary.

This is a fast paced, varied and interesting role, and you will have the opportunity to participate in and contribute to a changing and evolving NHS landscape whilst gaining exposure both internally as well as to wider system partners.

Main duties, tasks & skills required

The ideal candidate will have excellent organisational skills, a flexible approach to work, the ability to build working relationships with a wide variety of people at all levels, and administrative experience. Experience of working in an operational role and with UHB IT systems is not essential but would be advantageous.

The Elective Care Hub is passionate about making a difference in supporting UHB colleagues and is committed to providing the highest level of service for patients. The Independent Sector Coordinators will form an integral part of the team with the opportunity for input into decision making and collaborative working. Whilst the Job Description provides an outline of the requirements of the role, if you feel that you don't meet all of the criteria and are able to demonstrate suitable transferrable skills, please feel free to apply. The position will be based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital with flexible working considered.
