Bank Clinical Co-ordinator

Are you an Administrator or Call-Handler looking for your next opportunity?

St Margaret’s Hospice Care has a fantastic opportunity for a Clinical Coordinator to join our team.

Based in our Central Referral Centre, you will be the first point of contact for callers to the hospice. Our duty is to speak with the person to understand how best they can be helped and pass them on to the relevant team.

• Location:Taunton, office based
• Contract Type: Bank/Casual
• Hourly Rate: £13.55

You will play a critical role in helping to provide the support that patients and families need.

Being a clinical coordinator involves being the primary contact for all callers to our main telephone contact numbers. This can be healthcare professionals making patient referrals which we document and pass onto our duty clinicians, or answering calls from patients, families and carers, liaising with a variety of services within the hospice to pass on this information so that the right service team can follow up.

We provide a comprehensive training programme and induction to ensure that you have the skills and knowledge required to undertake this challenging but rewarding role. We recognise that much of what we deal with on a day to day basis can be emotional and have a strong programme of support in place.

We are looking for candidates who:

• Have experience of working in a busy office environment, have an excellent telephone manner and are methodical.
• Are able to relay information accurately from calls both verbally and written.
• Have a good understanding of confidentiality.
• Due to the number of healthcare computer programs we use, are very confident in their computer and IT skills.
• Are flexible and can prioritise workloads. You will be working in a fast-paced environment where you will experience numerous interruptions throughout the working day.

This is a primarily office-based role, so ability to get to the Hospice site is essential.

At St Margaret’s Hospice, our values guide everything we do. We are:

• Compassionate:Kindness and care for everyone, every day
• Collaborative:One team, working together for one goal
• Ambitious:Striving for better, now and into the future.

If these values resonate with you, we’d love to hear from you.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and experiences. If your experience broadly matches the role and you’re motivated to make a difference, we encourage you to apply.
