Job overview
The national Terminology and Classifications Service publishes mandated clinical coding systems (terminology and classifications) under section 250 of the Health and Social Care Act 2012. Healthcare professionals use terminologies to record the patient care and forms part of the patient record. Coding specialists use the classifications to categorise the data recorded for statistical analysis, research and the reimbursement of health and care providers.
The classifications (ICD and OPCS-4) are used in every NHS hospital system across the UK to support national reporting. This national service is responsible for the maintenance, distribution, and support including core training materials for these classifications in England. We provide the definitive source of coding standards for applying and interpreting these classifications for consistent, accurate and comparable data.

Working for our organisation
Our staff bring expertise across clinical, operational, commissioning, technology, data science, cyber security, software engineering, education, and commercial specialisms — enabling us to design and deliver high-quality NHS services.
We lead the NHS in England by:
- Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities

Earlier this year, the Government announced that NHS England will gradually merge with the Department of Health and Social Care, to create a smaller, more strategic centre that reduces duplication and waste.
If successful at interview, we will initiate an Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR). This retrieves key data from your current or previous NHS employer to support onboarding, including competency status, Continuous Service Dates (CSD), and annual leave entitlement.
