An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and positive individual to play an influential role in ensuring the provision of ‘safe staffing’ and shaping the national policy for healthcare staffing. As a member of the Healthcare Staffing Programme Senior Leadership Team within Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS), you will play a pivotal role in the delivery of this national programme and support the wider assurance and improvement work across the organisation.
As an experienced clinical leader, you will provide senior clinical leadership and operational management for the Healthcare Staffing Programme to support a national, data and intelligence-led approach to continuous improvement of care and the implementation of Healthcare Improvement Scotland’s responsibilities outlined in the Health and Care (Staffing) (Scotland) Act (2019). This post has a particular focus on ensuring HIS meets its legislative duties in relation to monitoring NHS Board’s compliance with the staffing duties outlined within the Act.

You will be an experienced senior clinical leader with significant operational management experience and experience of leading on Clinical Governance, Care Assurance, and workforce within the NHS or other healthcare setting. Educated to Masters Level in Quality Improvement or healthcare (or equivalent demonstrable knowledge and experience), you will have expert knowledge of healthcare staffing with a clear grasp of concepts and their practical application in health care settings.
