Gateshead, United Kingdom Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We have a fantastic opportunity within our library team within the Health Records Department.

Key elements of the role include retrieving patient medical records to colleagues from across the Trust, ensuring tracking records using IT systems.

Your role is that of a generic Health Records Library Clerical Officer and although you may be based in the main library with clearly defined duties and responsibilities, training will be provided to ensure you are able to fulfil the duties in all areas of Health Records library work. This will include receiving appropriate training to be able to work in the secondary store area.

This is to ensure the continuity of services provided, as it is occasionally necessary for Health Records Library Officers to be transferred between sections if this is in the interests of the overall services provided to the Trust.

In support of good quality patient/client care, you will provide an efficient and effective service across the whole range of duties, and will work as part of a team to constantly improve the quality of the services we provide.

Based in the North East of England we provide a range of hospital and community health services from our leading facilities, including the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Blaydon urgent care centre and Bensham Hospital, all within Gateshead.

Established in 2005, we were one of the first foundation trusts in the country and since then have consistently achieved the highest levels of care for patients.

We now employ around 4,800 staff and currently provide 444 hospital beds across the Gateshead region.

Our values should be the ‘golden thread’ which runs through everything we do - they are the core of who we are. Our five values can easily be remembered by the simple acronym ICORE; Innovation, Care, Openness, Respect, Engagement.

We have a number of staff networks including the BAME network, D-Ability network, LGBTQ+ Network and the Women’s Network, to challenge us and help us to constantly improve. Our armed forces network is one of our emerging networks.
