Job summary At Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust, we're proud to be different. Whether it's for being one of the first NHS trusts in England to provide joined-up hospital, community and social care services, or being at the forefront of the NHS's digital revolution with our human-led digital innovation programmes which are transforming the way we deliver care, we love being a leader in what we do. Providing high-quality, safe care really matters to us - and we've won awards for it too. We have more than 6,000 dedicated people who are delivering compassionate health and social care in people's homes, in our communities and across more than 15 sites in Torbay and South Devon, including our main acute hospital site at Torbay Hospital. Thanks to their hard work, we are one of the 20 best NHS hospital trusts in the country for cancer performance and one of just a handful to have met the faster diagnosis standard for more than 16 months. Main duties of the job This is a role in which you can make a massive contribution and help to create the positive conditions for our future success. We are looking for an inspirational, compassionate and courageous leader with a track record of delivering transformation in a large healthcare organisation. You will be a natural collaborator, with the ability to think and act strategically with diverse system partners to develop creative solutions to complex problems. Commercially astute, you will have a sophisticated understanding of commercially orientated performance and financial management. Importantly, too, you will have the passion and drive to be our greatest advocate for our people and community in Torbay and South Devon - now and in the future. To deliver sustainable change, our next Chief Executive will be someone who can collaborate with our partners to explore new ways of delivering better care, better outcomes and better experiences for all our people while also delivering our system's plan for better value. About us We're a recipient of government funding that will enable us to embark on a once-in-a-generation hospital redevelopment, and our exciting plans to deliver our new electronic patient record by 2026 will be a game-changer, helping us to transform the way we share information, deliver care and improve efficiency across Devon. We're proud to be part of the national exemplar programme for the People Promise, which promotes the contribution of all people in our workplace and equality of opportunity to improve people's experiences at work. We have a national reputation for our work to retain our midwifery workforce and take our responsibilities as an anchor organisation to grow our local workforce seriously. We are the first NHS trust in the South West to partner with the Open University to offer an exciting nursing degree which gives people in our community the opportunity to study closer to home and complete their clinical placements in our acute and community settings. Like many trusts, however, we are managing demand for services and workforce pressures with the money and resources available to us; we are subject to the national oversight framework (NOF4) and are working with our partners across Devon to deliver a plan that will bring financial stability and improved performance.
