We are looking for a highly motivated person to join our current ILD service coordinator, within the interstitial lung disease team based at the Glenfield hospital.

• Maintain clinic scheduling on HISS, including cancellation and re-scheduling of clinics, setting up of new clinic templates and ad-hoc clinics
• Any other duties commensurate with the role and service needs.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
