Clerical Officer - Health Records

We are recruiting for 5 Band 2 Clerical officers on a 12 month Fixed Term Contract (Shift pattern to be confirmed upon appointment).

Dartford & Gravesham NHS Trust's Health Records department plays a pivotal role in the hospital lifecycle, processing the notes which are generated with every patient's contact with our Trust.

We have a number of vacancies in Health Records currently and are looking to recruit people who thrive in a fast paced working environment.

The Trust started its transition to Electronic Health Records with an in-house BS1008 accredited Scanning Bureau in 2015. It has maintained this accreditation each year and is now in the final stage of deployment to all specialties.

The ideal candidate will have previous experience in an administrative role and flexibility in the role is required. General knowledge of Health Records functions will be an advantage.

Key areas of responsibility will include:

1. Participating in all day-to-day scanning and scanning preparation duties.
2. Meeting deadlines and targets for scanning outputs.
3. Perform QA and QC checks.
4. Destruction of records in line with Trust policies and procedures.

We are committed to being an inclusive and diverse employer. We strive to employ people who reflect the communities we serve, and aim to create an inclusive culture where everyone can reach their full potential. We welcome applications from people of diverse backgrounds, perspectives and experiences to build on the progress we’ve achieved to make our Trust diverse and the best place to work.

We are dedicated to using our Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) approach as our shared organisation model of change to enhance our services and ensure excellence in patient care.

If you are considering applying for a role, please be aware that as an NHS Employee you may have contact with vulnerable service users. We strongly encourage that all our staff are vaccinated against COVID-19 and are vaccinated annually against Flu, in order to protect the health and safety of our staff and patients.
