Join the Women and Children's team at Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as an Operations Assistant and play a key role in helping deliver efficient, high-quality patient care.

This varied and rewarding role combines team leadership, operational coordination, data analysis and service improvement. You'll supervise a team of Patient Pathway Coordinators, Clinical Typists and Records Assistants, helping ensure patients move smoothly through their care pathways and that the service consistently meets important quality and performance targets.

You’ll work closely with clinicians, managers and wider Trust teams, supporting exciting service development projects, analysing performance data, coordinating meetings and producing reports, presentations and project plans.

For the last three years, we have been ranked as the best NHS Trust to work for in the Midlands and in 2020 we were the third best Acute/Community NHS Trust in England.

Happy colleagues deliver better care. Our teams work in a supportive, inclusive environment, which nurtures wellbeing and has opportunities for development and progression. We do not just care for our patients; we also care for you.

Our culture of learning, compassion and taking a person-centred approach are at the roots of our organisation. We would love you to join us.
