Reporting to the Rota Coordinator, the successful candidate will help manage the day-to-day coordination of the clinical rota for approximately 30 consultants, 20 registrars, and 10 junior doctors and 20 nursing staff across two hospital sites - Southmead Hospital and Weston General Hospital. The rota covers on-call commitments, theatre sessions, and outpatient clinics, and plays a critical role in ensuring we maintain the appropriate staffing levels across all service areas.

This is a great opportunity to be part of a supportive and friendly team within one of the largest Urology departments in the region. If you enjoy working in a fast-paced environment where your organisational skills can make a real difference, we would love to hear from you.
Main Responsibilities Include:

• Ensuring appropriate cover for all clinical areas including on-call shifts, theatres, and clinics
• Managing leave requests (annual, study, sickness) in accordance with departmental guidelines
• Liaising with medical staff, service managers and clinical leads to address and resolve rota gaps
• Distributing the rota to relevant teams in a timely and clear manner
• Supporting the department to remain compliant with junior doctor safe working hours and contractual requirements
