The most rewarding part of this role is providing a high standard of administrative

workload on a day to day basis.

This administrator role oversees the whole pathway for patients on their weight loss journey from first referral, through multi-disciplinary discussion to possible bariatric surgery.
The successful applicant will be responsible for recruiting patients into an

management programme and record outcome details that allow for data collection, as required by NHS England.
