Job Title
We are looking for a courteous and motivated person to join our friendly team in Critical Care for 15 hours per week, to ensure 7 days/week ward clerk coverage. The successful candidate will work closely with the critical care team to facilitate the smooth running of the ward.
The post holder will work as an integral part of the critical care team.
About the Role
The Ward Clerk is an integral member of the Critical Care team, providing administrative and clerical support that contributes to the effective day-to-day running of the unit and supports the patient journey.
The post holder will frequently be a first point of contact for patients' relatives and visitors and must therefore demonstrate professionalism, compassion, and sensitivity, recognising that families attending Critical Care may be experiencing significant anxiety, distress, or bereavement.
Responsibilities
The Critical Care Inpatient Ward Clerk role consists of three principal components:
i. Direct and comprehensive Critical Care administration
Accurate inputting, updating, and maintenance of electronic patient information using the EPIC and other relevant Critical Care or Trust systems. The post holder will support the accurate and timely administration of patient admissions, transfers, and discharges and contribute to maintaining an accurate and up-to-date Critical Care bed state.
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.
ii. Patient record and documentation management
Support the effective management of patient records and documentation, including electronic and, where applicable, paper records, ensuring that information is appropriately maintained, available, and handled in accordance with Trust policies and information governance requirements.
iii. General clerical and administrative support
Provide comprehensive clerical and administrative support to the Critical Care clinical team to support the patient journey and efficient functioning of the unit. The post holder will act as an important point of contact for relatives, visitors, members of the multidisciplinary team, and other hospital departments.
Requirements
The post holder will be required to work flexibly, use initiative within the boundaries of the role, and prioritise workload appropriately in response to the changing demands of a busy Critical Care environment.
