We are looking for a new member of staff to join our existing Admissions teams at University Hospital Lewisham and Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woolwich.

The Admissions Department is looking for motivated, organised individuals to join their friendly team. You will work as part of this team to ensure that patients are admitted to hospital in a timely and efficient manner, making the process as smooth as possible for patients and clinicians.
This is an exciting time to join a growing department.

They will provide an efficient admission service for all adult patients within the Division and lead on developments in the way elective admissions are organised. They should be able to identify any shortfall in the provision of elective slots and put forward suggestions for improving the patient access system and ensure that elective surgery access targets within the Division of Theatres and Surgery are met. The post holder will be booking the elective patients within the National 18 week target and Cancer

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust is a community focused provider of local and acute care, providing high quality services to over one million people living across the London boroughs of Lewisham, Greenwich and Bexley. With a turnover of around £700 million, we provide services at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, University Hospital Lewisham and a range of community settings in Lewisham. We also provide some services at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Sidcup.

As an organisation, we’ve made significant improvements for patients and staff in the last two and-a-half years. This is reflected in our most recent Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection (from February 2020), which found improvements across the organisation and gave us an improved rating of “Good” in the Well-Led and Effective domains, in addition to the rating of “Good” that we had already achieved in the Caring domain. Our staff culture change programme has been key to the Trust’s improvement journey, as we’ve stabilised our workforce by reducing vacancy rates and improving staff retention. We’ve also significantly increased the representation of minority ethnic leaders across our clinical and corporate teams
