Role Overview & Responsibilities

Are you enthusiastic and conscientious? Do you take pride in your work? Do you work well in a team but can also work autonomously?

If these words describe you, then you could be just the person we’re looking for.

We are recruiting staff to work between the hours of 12pm and 8pm at the Leicester Royal Infirmary. Full time and Part time positions are available

The Medical Records Clerks carry out a wide variety of duties including retrieval of case notes from around the hospital sites and from the medical records libraries, filing of case notes into multiple library locations as well as computerised tracking of notes; the successful applicant will need basic IT skills and good communication skills. The ability to work on your own initiative and to tight deadlines in a pressurised environment is essential and you must be able to lift and handle medium loads.

We are one of the biggest and busiest NHS trusts in the country, incorporating the General, Glenfield and Royal Infirmary hospitals. We have our very own Children’s Hospital and run one of the country’s leading heart centres.

Our team is made up of more than 17,000 staff providing a range of services primarily for the one million residents of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

We work with partners at the University of Leicester and De Montfort University providing world-class teaching to nurture and develop the next generation of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, many of whom go on to spend their working lives with us.

Our purpose is to provide ‘Caring at its best’ and our staff have helped us create a set of values that embody who we are and what we’re here to do. They are:

• We focus on what matters most
• We treat others how we would like to be treated
• We are passionate and creative in our work
• We do what we say we are going to do
• We are one team and we are best when we work together

Our patients are at the heart of all we do and we believe that ‘Caring at its best’ is not just about the treatments and services we provide, but about giving our patients the best possible experience.
