About the Role
Care Coordinators play a vital role within the Access Hubs, supporting patients with their queries, scheduling and checking them in for appointments, assisting clinicians on site, and liaising with patients’ GP practices to ensure they receive appropriate care. This role operates within Enhanced Access across two locations: South Westminster Centre and Lanark Medical Centre.
Key responsibilities include managing SystmOne related tasks such as ICE and pathology reports, sorting incoming post for medical records, creating tasks for GP practices, and ensuring patients meet service criteria. You will assist patients with appointment check-ins, new bookings, rescheduling, and queries, as well as support clinicians with administrative duties both in person and via SystmOne messenger.
Additional duties involve calling patients to confirm bookings, sending SMS confirmations, completing clinical stock, clinic room and fridge checks, managing 2WW and other referrals, issuing and collecting patient feedback forms, managing clinician bookings via My Locum Manager, monitoring team mailboxes and clinic schedules, ordering stationery, and acting as a point of contact for clinicians on duty.
You will also contribute to the development of policies and SOPs, protect patient data and privacy, provide administrative support to the wider Central London Healthcare organisation, and perform reception desk duties including handling telephone calls, emails, and face-to-face queries.
The role requires maintaining up-to-date knowledge of service pathways and criteria, effective communication across Central London Healthcare and the GP Federation, updating clinician contact information, rotas, and room allocations, and working collaboratively with colleagues. Participation in CLH events and activities is also expected where applicable.
