Do you enjoy a challenge? Do you have a keen eye for detail with strong administration skills? Do you want to play a key role in the provision of health records and information? If so, we are seeking enthusiastic and highly motivated individuals to join our expanding Information Governance Team.
Your role will be to ensure both Trusts meet their legal and regulatory obligations associated with information governance and to ensure that there are robust arrangements in place to continue to be well led organisations. This includes assurance and escalation as necessary.
This role is part of the Single Corporate Services and will require the successful candidate to work across sites, both Isle of Wight NHS Trust and Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (frequency of visits to each site, to be agreed locally)
Our vision for Single Corporate Services
Isle of Wight NHS Trust (IWT) and Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (PHU) have a shared vision of a single corporate service across our two organisations, supported by a single set of identical systems and processes, under joint leadership, to drive significant efficiencies, improve employee experience, and return time to patient care.
This vacancy is part of the Single Corporate Services Division.
Why are we changing the way we deliver Corporate Services?
Working as a partnership, both IWT and PHU have a shared vision for excellence in care for our patients and communities; with a set of strategic aims underpinning how we will achieve this. The creation of a single corporate service is essential for us to support our clinical and operational services, and our wider transformation programme.
The single corporate service is delivered across both organisation. You may be based at either IWT or PHU and individuals may be required to undertake business travel between sites. For leaders managing staff across multi-site locations, you will need to be visible and provide in person leadership. The arrangements and frequency will be agreed locally.
