Deputy Divisional Manager in London inLondon PUBLISHED WED 30 APR 2025 Jump to job information section
Job description
An opportunity has arisen within the Surgical Specialities Division (SSD) at UCLH for a Deputy Divisional Manager. SSD is a large division with a workforce of approximately 800, with staff across numerous sites – including operational responsibility for UCH @ Westmoreland Street Hospital – home to a specialist thoracic surgery service and the largest urology department in the country. We have recently opened the Elective Orthopaedic Centre (southern hub) in our state of the art Grafton Way building. We also provide head and neck and emergency surgical services in the UCH site.
This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated, diligent and solution-focused individual to join a well-established and supportive senior leadership team. To help you succeed, you will have the full support of the Divisional Manager and Divisional Clinical Director, with regular exposure to the Surgery & Cancer Board Medical Director and core team.
This is one of two Deputy Divisional Manager posts within the Surgical Specialties Division, and this post will primarily focus on the Westmoreland Street site, and the urology service that occupies the majority of that hospital site. The thoracic service also runs from Westmoreland Street. This postholder will be based at Westmoreland Street the majority of the time and will be the most senior daily point of contact for the site.
Reporting to the Divisional Manager, you will work closely with the Divisional Clinical Director, the other Deputy Divisional Manager, Clinical Leads, General Managers, Matrons and Divisional Business Partners to ensure the delivery of high quality patient care through the efficient use of resources.
The post holder will be accountable for leading and supporting the Division in meeting the operational, strategic and performance objectives across all our specialties and sites. This includes developing and implementing workforce strategies to ensure our team remain motivated and able to excel through a challenging period, following a reduction of activities relating to Covid-19 and industrial action.
You will advocate and enable cross-organisational working across North Central and North East London - ensuring optimal patient pathways are in place for cancer, elective and emergency services.
This is a fantastic development opportunity for an individual looking to gain further senior management experience in a large, multi-site division with complex pathways with external providers across London.
Candidates will require the ability to manage competing demands across several complex services, whilst being adaptable to the strategic and operational needs of the division.
