Whilst not essential, it would be desirable that you have knowledge and leadership experience of delivering new ways of working across Urgent & Emergency Care pathways at a multidisciplinary level to support alternatives to admission, closer inter-speciality working and safe & timely discharge.
I and the wider Trust Board are committed to making UHL a clinically led organisation with a leadership team that reflects the communities we serve. You will work as part of a team across UHL to drive improvements in care and to create an environment in which individuals and teams can excel. We want UHL to have one of the best cultures in the NHS because an inclusive and empowering culture delivers safe care. As such, a key requirement is that you are a compassionate and inclusive leader who listens and is responsive.
You will have support, autonomy and commitment from your colleagues, myself and the Executive Team. We will offer you the opportunity of further development.
Now is an exciting time to be at UHL. The progress we have made in UEC, planned care and cancer has meant we have been exited from the national tiering programme for all areas, as well as seeing large improvements in our staff survey this year. You will help us build upon the progress we are making to drive short, medium and long-term improvements in our UEC pathways across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
The post is open to consultants, appropriately experienced SAS doctors (working at Hospital Specialist or Associate Specialist level) and General Practitioners on the performers list.
To undertake this role you will need to be able to commit circa 6 PAs of your current job plan.
This opportunity is open to colleagues who work less than full time (LTFT) and we would welcome a discussion about individual circumstances if you are interested in the role.
The post also attracts a non-pensionable management supplement.
If you are interested in this opportunity and would like to find out more,please contact myself Jon Melbourne, UHL Chief Operating Officer, an informal discussion.
To apply please sent your CV and a personal statement to:

Your personal statement should be no more than two sides and should identify why you believe you should be considered for this role.

You should provide details of two referees; one of whom should be your current line manager.
You are also welcome to apply online via NHS jobs, and submit your application.
