Job overview

We are looking to recruit a full time member of staff to complement our existing Health Records team to work cross site between Southlands and Worthing. Health Records is responsible for the maintenance, preparation and prompt delivery of patients’ case notes for their outpatient appointments as well as the administration of emergency admissions to the hospital.
