Job Summary
With the retirement of both of our highly regarded and respected Chief Medical Officers, this is a rare opportunity to create a new executive medical leadership team to help take us forward on our journey for patient centred care and the best clinical outcomes, delivered through excellent research, education, and innovation, with a resolute focus on quality, safety and effectiveness.
Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (STH) is one of the UK's largest, busiest and most complex NHS foundation trusts, providing a wide range of hospital and community services for the people of Sheffield, as well as specialist care for patients from much further afield.

We have a long tradition of clinical, academic, and scientific achievements, and were one of the UK's first Academic Health Science Networks.
Main Duties of the Job
We are now appointing a new Chief Medical Officer (Operations) who will take the executive lead on all aspects of quality and safety, medical workforce development and leadership, and work closely with our Clinical Directors to ensure assurance and support for all aspects of clinical services. The postholder will be a member of the Shelford Group Medical Director's Group and work interchangeably with the new Chief Medical Officer (Development), and with a wide range of external organisations and agencies to support partnership working and collaboration, clinical pathway redesign, and representing STH on the wider stage. As one of the most senior clinical leaders in the NHS, your expertise and leadership will be crucial in providing leadership across STH and the wider system, as well as shaping and influencing strategic direction at the national level.
