The post holder will be required to extract medical terms from clinical documents and translate them to clinical codes for hospital activity at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd.
Trainee Clinical Coders will be considered if we are unable to fill the post with a Qualified Clinical Coder. Trainee Clinical Coders will be placed on a Band 3 pay structure until they gain NCCQ status when they will move to a Band 4.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.
Main Duties of the Job
- You will have good knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy, and physiology.
- A keen attention to detail is essential to this role.
- You would be expected to keep updated on developments in clinical coding through internal training and specialty training courses, which could involve travelling.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

If you are looking to develop your skills in the coding environment and feel that you can make a positive contribution to our service, we would like to hear from you.
