Patient Flow Coordinator

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Patient Flow Team, based within Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary and Regional Community Hospitals.

Working across acute and community services as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will play a pivotal role in coordinating patient journeys and supporting timely, safe discharges from hospital to home or other care settings across Dumfries and Galloway.

This is a rewarding and challenging role where no two days are the same. You will work closely with a wide range of health and social care professionals to overcome barriers to discharge, coordinate complex care arrangements, and help ensure patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

The successful candidate will have excellent communication, organisational and problem-solving skills, with the ability to build effective relationships across services and work confidently in a dynamic environment.

Some of our posts may require you to undergo a criminal records check. Changes as of the 1 April 2025 to the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme membership now sees more roles requiring PVG that may not have needed this check in the past. If you are successful in this role you will be notified which level of check is required by the recruitment team.
