As the new Deputy CGM in CV&T, you will be assigned a portfolio of services to work closely with, but you will also be part of a leadership and operational team overseeing the whole of the Care Group. As a member of the Duty Manager rota, you will also have the opportunity to apply your skills when working out of hours. In addition to your own day-to-day work for your services, you will also work with the rest of the management team to support each other, share ideas, deliver projects and work together to meet various deadlines e.g. strategic plans, reporting, transformation objectives. You will be busy; the rhythm of the CV&T is fast-paced and our patients are central to everything we do so we work hard to get it right the first time. The interdependencies between different services are complex so you will need to build your networks both within UHS and externally, be thinking at least three steps ahead and have a Plan B (and ideally a Plan C) most of the time. You will need to take the issues from the every day and use the learning to develop and implement ways of working to fix some of the systemic challenges. The stakes are high for our patients and their families so when we get it wrong, you need to be able to work with our teams to make it right and represent UHS professionally and compassionately. However, you wont be alone, you will be working with amazing teams of brilliant individuals who all make miracles happen every day. As you become established, you will work with the teams to support their ideas aligned with our strategic direction so we can make improvements to benefit the experience of our patients and our own staff. You will need to be able to understand the minutia as well as how it fits into the bigger system, both internally and externally, leading to effective and complex change. You need to be curious and able to turn an idea into something tangible and have the tenacity to drive forward work on behalf of our patients and teams. You also need to be a leader who is passionate about every part of the patient experience and values the contribution that each person makes to the success of the outcome. So if you want to be part of a service where you will witness things that will make you want to cry with joy and/or frustration (sometimes both), where your commitment to patient care can bring about positive change and where your experience will be pushed then we look forward to hearing from you.
