Rostering Co-ordinator

The Rostering Coordinator role plays a critical role in providing support to the Rostering Operations Team in the delivery of an efficient and effective rostering service whilst supporting the strategic direction of the Trust.

Delivering exceptional customer service, the post holders will work primarily with the Trust’s Allocate eRostering solution, HealthRoster, alongside other associated Allocate systems.

The role will require a high level of system/database administration, whilst providing support and guidance on the systems to Trust staff at all levels ensuring the delivery of an exceptional customer focused service. As critical members of the busy team working in a fast paced environment, the post holders will be required to exercise excellent organisation and problem solving skills to be able to deal with complex queries and find suitable solutions.

Excellent communication, problem solving skills and the ability to develop good working relationships with all Trust staff is essential to the success of this role.

Whilst not essential, an understanding of workforce systems such as HealthRoster would be advantageous.

The post holders will be based at our Worthing site with occasional travel to our other sites. This is for 2 x posts for Roster Coordinator to join the team.
