The Clinical Coding Team performs an extremely important role in the information and financial flows of the Trust and is a source of healthcare data for the Department of Health (DOH) and World Health Organisation (WHO). The role of Clinical Coding has never been as crucial, and to support the up-and-coming requirements of the Trust we now need to appoint additional staff.

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.

Specific to this role is the suitability for agile working which is a mixture of on-site and remote working

You will be responsible for the abstraction, analysis and interpretation of complex clinical information found within patients’ electronic health records and translate this to the most accurate clinical codes for diagnosis, co-morbidities and procedures undertaken for all discharged patients.

As an experienced Clinical Coder, you will work with your division to support and maintain a professional and flexible coding service. At times this will include the mentoring of Trainee Clinical Coders in conjunction with the Team Leaders and Trainer to bring them up to the required level of competence.

You will need to be a team player with the ability to work accurately, plan and manage your own workloads to meet tight monthly deadlines, communicate effectively with a broad range of key stakeholders, and have the willingness to continue learning and developing your clinical coding skills.
