You will also work closely with partners such as Local Care Direct (LCD), NHS 111 and Mid Yorkshire Hospital Trust (MYHT) to provide patients in the district with a safe and high-quality urgent care service.

You will supervise the reception team on duty, support the induction of new workers and provide training when new processes are introduced. As a highly motivated individual the shift coordinator will have excellent organisational skills, be able to work under pressure and adapt quickly to ensure service continuity and responsiveness.
