We are currently recruiting 1 full-time post for this vacancy, offering a unique opportunity to be part of our leadership team.

We're on a learning journey. Following the merger of our clinical coding services across Guy’s, St Thomas’, Royal Brompton and Harefield, we’re building a new kind of service—one that’s not just about assigning codes, but about improving patient care through our Data Hub, which unites operational and research data in a modern digital landscape.

As a Clinical Coding Team Manager, you’ll lead and support a team of coders in a dynamic, collaborative environment. This isn’t just a managerial post—it’s a chance to help shape the department’s future. We’re looking for someone operationally strong, and who also sees the bigger picture and dares to challenge the status quo: how coding can drive improvements in patient pathways, service efficiency and outcomes.

You’ll be joining a leadership team committed to building a digitally informed workforce—one aligned to our 'Better, Faster, Fairer' patient care strategy.

If you're ready to lead, support others and help transform coding, this could be your opportunity.

This role requires someone who sees the bigger picture—how data and coding impact patient pathways, financial outcomes, and strategic planning.

You’ll contribute to a culture of continuous learning, innovation and staff development, helping the department evolve in line with new technologies and a broader, data-led vision for clinical coding.
