Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a full-time bariatric patient pathway navigator. In this role you will support the clinicians in the bariatric team and the Bariatric MDT Coordinator.
This will involve typing clinic letters and general patient administration. You will also be required to provide some cover/deputise for the MDT Coordinator in their absence.
As a pathway navigator you will be one of the main points of contact in the bariatric patient pathway. You will work with the Bariatric MDT Coordinator and the clinical team to assist in all steps of the pathway and will also be responsible for ensuring that progress in the pathway is recorded correctly.
The post holder will communicate questions and queries from the patient to the clinical team and provide the appropriate response to the patient.
If you would like to work in a supportive, friendly working environment, this could be the role for you!
The post holder will ideally have a good base of secretarial and administration skills, be a team player but self-motivated and able to prioritise a busy workload. A flexible approach to your duties will be required.
