- Lead, supervise, and develop a team of health records clerks and assistants, providing training, conducting appraisals, and fostering a culture of accuracy, confidentiality, and continuous improvement.
- Manage the organisation's clinical coding function, ensuring accurate and timely completion of clinical coding in line with national standards (e.g., ICD-10, OPCS-4) to support accurate billing, service planning, and healthcare analytics.
- Develop, implement, and audit robust policies and procedures for data quality, record completion, information sharing (both internal and external), and the secure disposal of records, mitigating risks of data breaches.
What We're Looking For
- Substantial, proven experience in a health records or information management setting within the NHS, private healthcare, or a similar care environment, with at least 2 years in a supervisory or managerial capacity.
- An in-depth, practical understanding of the UK legal framework governing health information, including UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, the Confidentiality NHS Code of Practice, and the Freedom of Information Act.
- Professional accreditation or qualifications are highly desirable, such as membership of the Archives and Records Association (ARA) or a relevant degree in Health Informatics, Information Management, or a related field.
- Exceptional leadership, communication, and organisational skills, with the ability to manage conflicting priorities, analyse complex data issues, and present information clearly to clinical and non-clinical staff at all levels.
