Clinical Coder
Job summary
We have an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and efficient Clinical Coder to join our Practice and team.
A background in a similar role in a healthcare setting (Primary or Secondary Care) is essential.

A very good understanding of medical terminology is required, together with first class communication skills.
Main duties of the job
The successful applicant will have excellent IT skills, be able to manage their workload to a high standard, be enthusiastic, and a team player who is able to use their initiative.
