Description
We are looking for someone to join our RTT Pathway Team, to track patients across their Referral To Treatment pathway and ensure potential breaches of waiting time targets are avoided or escalated to the relevant manager.
We are a small, supportive team, well suited to flexible working with the opportunity to be based at home if desired. Full training will be provided, and you will gain a wide breadth of knowledge making it an ideal place to begin or build upon a career within the NHS.
To be shortlisted for this role you will be expected to show the skills demonstrated on the person specification, evidenced by succinct examples and clear written communication.
Previous applicants need not apply
If you are currently employed by the Trust and you wish to apply for this role on a secondment basis, please seek permission from your current line manager before applying for the post.
When a patient is referred by their GP, Dentist or other healthcare professional to a Consultant-led service, they have the legal right to begin treatment within 18 weeks from the date that the referral was received by the provider. This is known as the 18 Week Referral to Treatment (RTT) target.
The main focus of the post holder’s role will be to proactively manage and track the progress of referrals to ensure that each stage of the patient pathway is fully planned and booked, whilst working with colleagues across the Trust to ensure wait time targets are achieved.
The successful candidate will need to be organised, with excellent attention to detail, and show an ability to work independently whilst prioritising their workload. You should have a basic understanding of the 18 Week RTT target as well as awareness of other national targets. You will need to become proficient in use of the Trust’s Patient Administration System (CPD), we will offer the successful candidate full training on appointment.
The base for the post holder will be York but they will support colleagues across all Trust sites. The role is mainly remote working. The post holder would need to attend York Hospital for an initial period of face to face training, though if this was an issue we would encourage you to contact the appointing manager to enquire whether alternative arrangements could be accommodated.
