Main duties of the job
When a patient is referred by their GP, Dentist or other healthcare professional to a Consultant-led service, they have the legal right to begin treatment within 18 weeks from the date that the referral was received by the provider. This is known as the 18 Week Referral to Treatment (RTT) target.
The main focus of the post holder's role will be to proactively manage and track the progress of referrals to ensure that each stage of the patient pathway is fully planned and booked, whilst working with colleagues across the Trust to ensure wait time targets are achieved.
The successful candidate will need to be organised, with excellent attention to detail, and show an ability to work independently whilst prioritising their workload. You should have a basic understanding of the 18 Week RTT target as well as awareness of other national targets.

The base for the post holder will be York but they will support colleagues across all Trust sites. There is a choice of being based on site at Park House next to York Hospital, working remotely at home, or a combination of the two. Ideally the post holder would attend Park House for an initial period of face to face training, though if this was an issue we would encourage you to contact the appointing manager to enquire whether alternative arrangements could be accommodated.
