London, United Kingdom Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are looking for an enthusiastic and hard-working person with a positive attitude and excellent people skills to join our busy but dedicated Gynaecology team.

Our multi-disciplinary clinic team work together to ensure the best possible experience not only for our patients, but also for our staff. We are a supportive and caring team and encourage our staff to develop both personally and professionally.

The Patient Pathway Coordinator (PPC) will lead on the tracking of patient pathways and scheduling pre-operative assessments and surgeries. By working closely with a wide range of clinical and managerial staff and providing a high standard of administrative support, the post holder will ensure patients receive treatment as soon as possible and help ensure national targets are met.

Depending on the requirements of the service, the post holder may be required to rotate within the team and provide cover in the case of absence. This ensures that at every point of contact with the Trust, patients are able to speak to staff who understand their scheduling needs and that clinical teams are always supported by knowledgeable administrative staff.

Evelina London is part of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and we are responsible for providing services for women and children. With over 3,000 dedicated staff, and led by an Executive Team and Board, we have significant devolved autonomy to focus operationally and strategically upon the needs of our patients. We also benefit from being part of a large and successful NHS foundation trust, whose values we share. We have an ambitious strategic development programme, with backing from Guy’s and St Thomas’.

Every year, the number of women, children and young people Evelina London cares for, in hospital and in the community, continues to grow. We provide comprehensive health services from pre-conception, before birth, throughout childhood and into adult life. Evelina London is here for children, young people and women from London to South East England, and provides specialist care for families around the UK and across the world.

As the only NHS Trust in London with women’s and specialist children’s services on one site we have unique opportunities to provide excellent, high-quality, integrated care for mothers, babies and children.
