This role is responsible for providing operational leadership to a large portfolio of services within the Division of Access and Medicine at the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust.
The post holder will be responsible for the operational and strategic leadership across all aspects of Medicine, covering Cardiology, Diabetes and Endocrinology, Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Neurology, Respiratory, and Rheumatology.
The post holder will provide strategic direction and leadership to ensure services continuously improve, whilst maintaining a firm grip on the coordination of day-to-day operational management. Working together with the Specialty Managers, Clinical Directors (CDs), and Matrons for the medical specialties, the post holder will provide support and guidance to ensure implementation of the divisional strategy and pursue service improvements to deliver local and national quality and performance targets. This is a fast-paced and challenging role, but one that can offer huge reward working with talented sub-triumvirate leadership teams.
To deliver in this role, you will have experience working across a range of NHS services, be able to lead multi-professional teams, and be able to collaboratively work with internal and external stakeholders. This includes commissioners and regulators; in particular, this includes working as a senior manager within the Guildford and Waverley health and care system, supporting the integration and alignment of clinical pathways across acute, community, and primary care services.
Core to the role is oversight of delivery against key constitutional quality and safety standards, including the referral to treatment time for all specialties (including cancer and non-cancer referrals), and the referral to test time for people who require diagnostic testing. The role is accountable for the performance of the specialties within their remit against those standards. The role will take responsibility for oversight of budgets across all specialties within its remit, and for workforce planning. In addition, the post holder will lead and manage key areas including complaints, governance, risk, and redesign projects across the specialties within their remit and will deputise for the Associate Director of Operations (ADO) as required.
