Are you passionate about delivering exceptional patient care and looking for an opportunity to lead a dynamic team? King’s Mill Hospital is seeking a motivated and enthusiastic individual to join us as a Operations Assistant.

The successful candidate will lead and inspire a dedicated team of Patient Pathway Coordinators, Clinical Typists, and Records Assistants and play a crucial role in ensuring the highest quality of patient care.

You will act as the primary contact for patients accessing elective hospital services, guiding them through their care pathway and use your expertise to proactively manage the patient pathway from referral to discharge, ensuring smooth transitions and high levels of patient care.

If you are ready to make a difference and take on this exciting challenge, we want to hear from you!

To understand the role in more detail, please refer to the attached job description and person specification.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.

We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
