We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Theatre administrator coordinator to join our dedicated team at Queens hospital. In this role, you will support the theatre team in providing high quality administrative support across our 16 operating theatres, which include specialties such as Neurosurgery, General Surgery, Vascular Surgery, ENT, Trauma, Gynaecology, Maxillofacial, Pain Management, and Obstetrics.
You will coordinate and manage the administrative and reception teams, playing an important role in the smooth running of the theatre department. Your key responsibilities will include overseeing the weekly theatre allocation, managing the reception and holding bay teams, and addressing any staffing shortfalls. You will also ensure that all local theatre policies and procedures related to the admin and holding bay teams are maintained effectively.
This is a full-time position requiring five per week. We are looking for an individual dedicated to clinical excellence, possessing strong communication, interpersonal, and organisational skills. A flexible approach to working hours and a commitment to developing and improving the operating department are essential.
The successful candidate will support the Theatre Administrator Coordinator, Theatre Matron and Theatre Manager in providing day-to-day management of the administrative processes including roster management and theatre scheduling for Queen’s Theatre Department.
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.
