We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

At UHS, we're committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.

At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognising that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team.

We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.

The successful candidate will be responsible for providing administrative and patient support with My Medical Record (MyMR) which is used within perioperative care to deliver our digital screening for patients.

This dynamic and integral role will support patients signing up to MyMR face to face or over the telephone, coordinate the training of the clinical team in using MyMR, to work with clinical teams to identify patients to be signed up to use MyMR or other health apps and support processes e.g in clinic and help/support with other patient facing digital platforms and tools.

Where required they will supervise, support and train band 2 staff working within the clinical service. They will be expected to manage their own workload, working autonomously and as part of a team.
