This position aims to bolster the leadership team's capacity and effectiveness in driving recovery initiatives. The director will adopt a coaching methodology to foster leadership and support, while leveraging available resources such as business intelligence and project management from the existing team. Throughout their tenure, the director will play a critical role in monitoring performance, adjusting plans as necessary, and escalating concerns to mitigate potential setbacks in the recovery agenda.
Director of Elective Care (Recovery)
Post fixed term 9 months.
With a focus on NOTSSCaN Division, the programme objectives are to support for a 6 - 9-month period helping deliver the NOTSSCAN element of the elective recovery plan and ensure that the governance supports timely decision making, communicates escalations rapidly and updates on progress against key milestones and KPIs.
The support will add pace, coordination and broker clinical discussions so that the Divisional Directors are allowed headspace to make sure key priorities are achieved.
The objectives are therefore grouped under four main areas:
1. Provide operational support as part of the divisional leadership team
2. Review recovery plans, making recommendations to the Executive team and assure the delivery against agreed trajectories seeking, where possible, to mitigate any risks associated with current recovery plans
3. Support the elimination of 65-week waits, in line with recovery plan trajectories
4. Support delivery of agreed activity plans back to required levels - performing deep dives to understand why currently lower than planned and develop recovery actions to increase value weighted activity, and ERF.
The Director of Elective Care will work closely with the relevant leads to deliver the service component of the long-wait recovery plan by:
- Representing the division with IS providers and owning the delivery of activity levels with commissioned ISPs.
- Working with the divisional leaders to unblock any challenges that may prevent delivery of key milestones
- Provide service leadership and identify additional actions and implement to support the recovery agenda.
- Make sure the divisional components of the recovery plan are on track, any variation is understood in real time, to enable an agile response if required to mitigate against under delivery.
- Escalate any concerns that will impact on the delivery of the recovery plan and be part of the solution to resolve.
About us
This programme of work will provide additional capacity to the leadership team and work as a 4th member of the Tri to provide support to take the right action at the right time and drive the elective recovery plans against trajectories.
Initially it is assumed this will include a rapid review of performance and whether plans are fit for purpose, focusing on what recovery plans are in place, what progress is being made, and monitoring and assurance of existing / revised plans.
The role throughout this time will focus on a coaching methodology to provide additional leadership & support to the team.
The necessary support for the work including BI, project management, improvement expertise and PA support will be from the existing Divisional team, and the post will be included as a Quad in all things for recovery finance, elective, activity related.
