**Job overview**

Do you have background in administration along with a desire to have an impact on patient care within Cancer Services? We are recruiting for an Administrator to work in the role of MDT Coordinator.

This role is currently a hybrid role with a mixture of on-site working and home-based working. The role covers the county, so travel to Musgrove Park Hospital and Yeovil District Hospital should be expected to run the MDT meetings (at least weekly).

We are looking for someone who can confidently communicate with a broad range of colleagues while working remotely, is a confident typist with knowledge of medical terminology and can confidently co-ordinate cancer MDT meetings both in person and on virtual platforms (i.e. MS Teams), can manage the facilitation of MDT equipment, and has knowledge and experience as outlined on the Job Description.

**Main duties of the job**

As MDT Coordinator, you'll coordinate and run cancer MDT meetings, tracking patients on a suspected cancer pathway, and supporting the data collection of national CWT, COSD and audit requirements.

You'll also assist with the collection and inputting of patient activity data, and provide cover across the MDT Coordinator team. This is a fast paced and demanding role, set within a very friendly and supportive team environment.

You’ll join a team who are passionate about delivering the best possible service to our patients. We are looking for someone who is a strong team player, has a good eye for detail and the ability to work to tight deadlines.

In return we can offer training, support with those who wish to work on their professional development, fun Away Days, flexible working (both onsite and working from home), and a great team to work alongside

**Working for your organisation**

As an organisation, the NHS offers a wide range of benefits including flexible working, pension contributions, market leading annual leave allowance, career progression, and regular conversations, not to mention our Blue Light Card and NHS exclusive discounts.

The benefits of working in Somerset include the idyllic countryside, with our areas of outstanding beauty and stunning coastlines. You will get to enjoy these perks whilst still only being a stone's throw away from bustling city centres like Bristol, Bath and Exeter and only two hours away from London.

There are excellent educational facilities in the area and, when compared to other regions, house prices are reasonable. You will experience the best of both in Somerset, the countryside and the cosmopolitan - there is truly something for everyone
