Data Quality Officer
County Durham & Darlington NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 1 month(s) ago
Reference: C9439-2627-RP-N280
Job summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, well-organised and motivated individual to work within our Cancer Services Department in County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust. The position will be based at our office in Darlington Memorial Hospital or University Hospital of North Durham with the opportunity for some occasional home working.
The Data Quality Officer is an integral part of the cancer services team and will work closely with the cancer site specific multidisciplinary teams to collate and validate patient data on the Somerset Cancer Registry (SCR) system and/or associated interfaces to ensure the system holds correct and up to date patient data. The post holder will also work alongside cancer wait time colleagues to provide administrative support for Cancer Site-Specific Multidisciplinary Team meetings.
You will play a pivotal role in supporting the department to meet its objectives in relation to the collection of data for reporting to the national cancer audits and Cancer Services Outcomes Dataset (COSD). The post holder will be responsible for the data collection of the key performance indicators associated with these mandated datasets
Main duties of the job
Working alongside the Cancer Services Data Quality Co-ordinators you will help raise awareness of the importance of accurate and up to date information and undertake data audits to assess the quality of the information. You will ensure data is collected on patients with a suspected or diagnosed cancer, ensuring information is recorded accurately.
You will collate clinical data using multiple information sources ranging from existing hospital systems, multi-disciplinary discussion documentation and external hospital notifications. This will involve acknowledging and adhering to set deadlines and validation methods to ensure accurate reporting.
To assist in the process of routinely validating the data held within the SCR system, working pro-actively with the Data Quality Co-ordinator, healthcare professionals and Cancer Pathway Co-ordinators to address and resolve data quality issues, you must have a sound understanding of patient-related activity data. Data must be accurately and consistently recorded to well-defined standards to enable it to be used for statistical analysis, both locally and nationally.
About us
If you are being interviewed you must accept an interview slot in the system to continue, even if you have arranged with the manager.
You must be able to produce ALL certificates stated essential in the person specification or you will not be able to complete pre-employment checks.
We provide hospital services from two acute sites - Darlington Memorial Hospital and University Hospital of North Durham. We have a centre for planned care in Bishop Auckland and provide care from community hospitals in Chester-le-Street, Shotley Bridge, Barnard Castle, Sedgefield and Weardale as well as over 80 other community based settings and providing care in patients' homes.
We particularly welcome applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as BAME and disabled people are currently under-represented.

Job responsibilities
The post holder will explore unusual or missing data items and liaise with Cancer Services Quality Co-ordinators over a variety of data quality issues, and under guidance, ensure corrections are made as instructed.
You will have very good communication and people skills, as you will be required to liaise with multiple departments and multiple levels of staff in order to ensure that relevant cooperation is achieved in the provision of information and data distribution. Excellent organisational skills are essential, as the post holder would be required to work mainly under their own supervision and manage their own workload in such a way that reflects the Trusts operational and reporting deadlines. The nature of the post demands that the post holder multi-task and maintain concentration levels, despite the work-pattern occasionally being interrupted.
Accuracy and attention to detail are vital in this role; the post holder must ensure that the information collated and recorded accurately reflects the patient pathway, which in turn determines Trust compliance to various nationally published annual reports.
You will need good IT skills, with experience of using Outlook, Word and Excel and some experience of using hospital administration systems would be an advantage.
The post holder will have day-to-day responsibility for the collation, entry, validation and extraction of data supported in the operational use of SCR, collecting cancer data to ensure the national cancer audits, NHS England SSQD frameworks and COSD reporting requirements are completed.
Monitoring and updating data set items and inputting missing information into the SCR patient records forms a large part of the job role responsibilities.
Prior experience of working in the NHS in an administrative role, particularly in an audit related area is desirable.
This is a non-patient facing role. Please ensure you tailor your application to this post. This post will be based at either Darlington Memorial Hospital or University Hospital of North Durham but you may be required to travel to the alternative site as and when required.
Please note that all interviews will be held in person at one of our sites.

Team Administrator
Tees Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 1 month(s) ago
Reference: 346-NYA-160-26-A
Job summary
A fantastic part time (15 hours) opportunity has arisen for a conscientious and dynamic administrator to join one of our close-knit and supportive Community Mental Health Teams (CMHT), here in York.
The North CMHT is based in Huntington House and provides community-based support to people aged between 18 and 65 years old who are experiencing challenges with their mental health.
Huntington House is nestled to the west of Monks Cross, is a short walk away from the Community Stadium and Vanguarde Shopping Park. It is on the outskirts of York City Centre just inside the ring road (North), benefits from free on-site parking and is easily accessible by car, bus and bicycle.
As a member of this small and friendly team, you will work in an open plan office on the second floor of the building.

If you are looking for a new challenge, enjoy variety in your work and are looking to be part of a team striving to make a difference, we will welcome your application for this role.
Main duties of the job
Whilst having previous experience in an administrative role is essential, NHS or other health care experience is not. We are first and foremost looking for individuals with a passion for people, customer service experience, extensive organisational skills, an interest in working in a health care setting and a 'can do' attitude.
This role is at the heart of a dedicated and caring team and is a pivotal role in the day-to-day operations. As part of the administration team you will work closely with the medical secretary, Consultants and Nursing colleagues, supporting them in ensuring that high standards are maintained and they have everything they need to provide the best possible care for the service users.
We are looking for someone who feels comfortable multi-tasking in a busy environment, can communicate confidently, is thorough and takes pride in their work, can build strong working relationships with a variety of people, can prioritise their workload and work to deadlines.
About us
We are the Mental Health & Learning Disability NHS Trust for County Durham and Darlington, Teesside, North Yorkshire, York and Selby.
From education and prevention, to crisis and specialist care --our talented and compassionate teams work in partnership with our patients, communities and partners to help the people of our region feel safe, understood, believed in and cared for.
