An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Clinical Coding department at University Hospital Southampton for a Trainee Clinical Coder. We are looking for someone with enthusiasm, motivation and a keen eye for detail to join our friendly team, to help provide high quality coded data for the Trust.
As a Trainee Clinical Coder, you will receive all nationally approved training from the Trusts Clinical Coding Trainer.

Being part of the wider Data & Analytics Team, you may have opportunities to work with Analysts and Developers to find new ways to continually improve and develop tools to enhance the service we provide.
Gweithio i'n sefydliad
University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.
Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast.
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing 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, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.

As a Trainee Clinical Coder, you will start on a Band 3 and be regularly assessed during an extensive training and development programme. Once all local competencies have been met you will become a Band 4 Clinical Coder. This training process takes between 12-18 months to complete. There is further progression to a Band 5 Senior Clinical Coder, if you successfully pass the National Clinical Coding Qualification (NCCQ).
You will be trained to abstract, analyse, and interpret complex clinical information found within patients’ electronic health records and translate this to the most accurate clinical codes for diagnosis, co-morbidities and procedures undertaken for all discharged patients. It is essential that strict coding deadlines are met for financial and information purposes.
