Main duties of the job

This postholder is responsible for the co-ordination of patient pathways for the Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) workstream of the FIND Programme, ensuring smooth administration from the point of patient identification across all pathways.

The role involves maintaining accurate patient records, managing referrals, communicating with patients and clinical teams, and supporting service performance.
