Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust

Workforce Co Ordinator O & G

The closing date is 07 July 2025

Job summary

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Workforce Coordinator to join our dynamic team within the Obstetrics and Gynaecology (O&G) department. This is a key role supporting the delivery of safe and effective patient care through the coordination and management of medical rotas.

The successful candidate will be responsible for the day-to-day scheduling of staff across the department, ensuring appropriate cover is maintained at all times. You will work closely with clinical leads, service managers, and HR teams to deliver efficient workforce planning that meets service demands, complies with working time regulations, and supports staff wellbeing.

You will need to have proven experience in rota coordination or workforce administration, with strong organisational and problem-solving skills. Attention to detail and the ability to prioritise under pressure are essential. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills are also key, as you will liaise with a range of stakeholders to resolve staffing issues and support service continuity.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a background in NHS workforce or rota management to contribute to a high-performing clinical team in a busy and rewarding environment.

Main duties of the job

We are seeking a proactive and organised individual to join our team to support the management of non-career grade doctors, Specialty Registrars, and middle/junior grade medical staff. Working closely with the medical management team, you will play a vital role in ensuring the smooth coordination of medical staffing across all grades, particularly following the implementation of a full shift rota system.

Your key responsibilities will include managing and coordinating annual, study, and other forms of leave, ensuring appropriate rota cover is maintained at all times. You will be instrumental in supporting workforce continuity, liaising with clinical teams and administrative colleagues to resolve any gaps or shortfalls in staffing promptly and effectively.

The successful candidate will need strong communication, planning, and problem-solving skills, as well as experience working in a fast-paced clinical or administrative environment. A flexible and responsive approach is essential, as occasional travel across sites, including Frimley Park and Heatherwood Hospital, will be required. You must be able to travel independently between sites as needed.

This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to a high-performing medical workforce team and help ensure safe, consistent service delivery across our Trust.
