Job overview


An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Patient Pathway Co-Ordinator/Admissions to work within an established team to provide administration support to the nursing team and prioritising admissions. You will act as the first point of contact in communication with patient queries over the telephone and provide a full administrative service to the nursing team. You should be proactive and have excellent communication, IT skills and be able to prioritise workloads for themselves to accommodate changing demands within the team and service. The role is very demanding and you will be expected to be a core member of the Rheumatology team. The ideal candidate will have previous NHS experience, a flexible approach to work, maintain a high level of professionalism at all times and experience in audio typing.

Main duties of the job

The Patient Pathway Co-ordinator (PPC) will work within dedicated specialty Divisions to facilitate the smooth running of the patient journey by ensuring that there are co-ordinated and streamlined administrative processes that revolve around the patient and their individual needs.

Working for our organisation

We’re an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we’re no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and that our patients are happy with.


Many of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.


We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London – more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023. 


Patients across north east London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out. 


We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It’ll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
