This post will support the Rota Co-ordinator and will involve the day-to-day management of the Women and Children’s medical staffing rotas - in Obstetrics, Gynaecology, Paediatrics and Neonates. The post holder will assist the Rota Co-ordinator in ensuring the appropriate levels of staff and clinical safety is always maintained. This post will require an individual with excellent planning and organisational skills. The successful candidate will be required to work closely with the Clinical Director and Consultants for each area, along with the Secretarial teams, Senior Management team and Medical Staffing Departments, in supporting the needs of these busy and exciting departments.
• Liaise with all teams to ensure vacancies are covered as efficiently as possible. Contact doctors directly if any urgent cover is required, including calls/emails/sending group texts. This will involve the use of judgement to negotiate hours of cover with medical staff along with liaising with the relevant Consultant.
• Work with the Consultant staff to attempt to fill temporary vacancies and support them and the operational team in identifying longer term solutions to gaps within the medical rota.
• In the absence of the Rota Co-ordinator, act as point of contact for all teams for advice on medical staffing vacancies, both short and long term.
