Job summary

A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen to be part of the management team here at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, as part of One LSC, in the role of Clinical Coding Trainer.

Are you a qualified Trainer looking for a change of scene or to broaden your experience in regional specialist areas such as Major Trauma, Neurosurgery, Neurology, Vascular, Oncology or Renal? If so, then we want to hear from you.

Alternatively, if you are an experienced ACC Coder looking to take the next step in your coding career then you'll get all the help and support you need from an excellent network of qualified Trainers in the region whilst working towards qualification.

Until that time is right for you, however, you can make a significant difference to the development of Trainees and Coders working for the LTH team by sharing your expertise in guiding them through the day-to-day coding of a wide variety of clinical specialisms to ensure Coders are confident and effective in their roles.

Working closely as part of the management team you will be supported to play an important part in service development, help further the learning identified through audit and address any performance issues that may arise.

Main duties of the job

As a key member of the Clinical Coding management team, you will work alongside your senior colleagues to ensure and maintain maximum coverage and delivery of high quality clinically coded information within the Clinical Coding Department and in line with national and local standards in accordance with Trust deadlines to support service and management information requirements.

You will provide in-house and external training for the development of all staff involved in the clinical coding process.

Develop, implement and maintain a training programme, working alongside trainers across the region

Provide expert advice on complex coding queries and support the implementation of new standards and updates to ensure that Coders are confident and effective in their roles from trainee to qualified levels.

The post holder will assist in the promotion and development of the service within the Organisation and assist the Clinical Coding Manager in the management of the department.

The post holder will provide cover, where required, for the Clinical Coding Auditors and Assistant Clinical Coding Manager.

The role is mentally demanding requiring long periods of concentration in coding data, understanding, interpreting and communicating complex Clinical Coding issues and delivering multiple deadlines in a changeable and pressured work environment.

About us

LTH admitted care activity covers a wide variety of clinical specialisms, giving the coding team a broad skill set.

Our Coders work with a range of electronic systems including scanned patient notes and as such all roles involve full daily use of computer screens.

We can offer remote working for much of your time, flexibility with hours, and the ability to control your own workload in line with the requirements and demands of the role

As part of OneLSC we believe collaboration is a key factor to providing an outstanding clinical coding service for all the partner trusts.
