Assistant Biologics Coordinator

Band 3

Job overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen to work for the Biologics Service in the Rheumatology department at Hereford County Hospital.

Main duties of the job

The purpose of this job is to provide administrative support for the Biologics service in Rheumatology, supporting the Clinical Team by dealing with telephone queries, booking Biologic infusions via Fred Bulmer using Maxims and ChemoCare, applying for funding, Homecare prescription management and maintaining a database.  This role is based in the Rheumatology Biologics department but there is a need to be flexible in working throughout the Department as service needs require.

Working for our organisation

Wye Valley NHS Trust is a member of an NHS Foundation Group with South Warwickshire NHS FT , the George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust and Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.

Located on the border with Wales in the shadow of the Black Mountains, we provide acute and community services across Herefordshire and into parts of Powys and run Hereford County Hospital and the community hospitals in Bromyard, Leominster and Ross-on-Wye.

We are a progressive and forward looking trust with ambitious plans to improve quality and integrate patient pathways through close collaborative working with our partners to deliver the quality of care we'd want for our family and friends.

More than 3,500 people work for the Trust - they tell us it's a great place to work, blending the busyness of a DGH with the benefits of working in a beautiful rural and unspoilt county like Herefordshire.

We can offer a great work-life balance and have a fine tradition of working with staff to help them achieve their full potential.

Russell Hardy, Trust Chairman: "The strength of the Trust is its amazing staff; a great place to work, a great place to develop your career and a great place to reach your potential."

Our values -Care, Accountability, Respect and Excellence - are at the heart of all we do. We believe in providing the right care in the right place at the right time...all the time.
