Executive Director of Nursing, Quality & Patient Experience
Hywel Dda University Health Board is the local NHS organisation for Mid and West Wales.
As a health board, we plan, organise and provide health services for almost 400,000 people across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, and Pembrokeshire. We manage and pay for the care and treatment that people receive in this area for physical health, mental health and learning disabilities.
Our ambitious strategy seeks to develop and implement a process for transforming the way we deliver healthcare services, through a commitment to moving from a system focused on treatment and diagnosis, to one where preventing ill health is a core activity and that embraces consideration of people's wellbeing.
To deliver this ambition, we cannot work alone. We recognise the importance of working in partnership with local authorities, community organisations, businesses, and communities to improve not only the services we deliver, but also the circumstances in which we grow up, live, work, play and age well.
Main duties of the job
As the Executive Director of Nursing, Quality and Patient Experience, we will look to you to lead our strategic vision with the nursing and midwifery teams enabling us to further develop these opportunities and driving our ambitions for a healthier, happier population whose wellbeing is at the centre of our thinking.
You must be an inspirational, creative and visible leader; a champion for service users and carers. As an experienced nurse leader working corporately at, or close to Board level, you will bring vision and credibility to the role. You will be comfortable in building relationships with a wide range of stakeholders within the organisation, our wider health system and our communities and your passion for professional and clinical leadership will match the drive and enthusiasm of our dedicated and innovative nursing and midwifery workforce. It goes without saying you must also be a Nursing and Midwifery Council registrant.
