With these in mind through all your behaviours, you will oversee high quality patient care and safety, the delivery of agreed performance and financial objectives, and ensuring that RPC aligns, and positively contributes, to the Trust’s strategic aims and objectives.
As Managing Director, you will be accountable to the Chief Operating Officer at the Trust and will managerially lead the Clinical Director, Head of Operations, PCN Manager, Finance Partner and HR Partner – together, you will oversee 146 WTE colleagues. You will also lead programmes of work including working at Place level and PCNs to improve population health. You will be a natural collaborator; engaging and persuasive and you’ll understand how to work well within complex environments and political agendas.
This is an exciting time to join the Trust – we are starting to develop our new strategy and have recently launched a number of supporting and vital supportive pieces of work that are genuinely improving care, making a difference every day. We’re keen that you’d be a huge part of that! We are eager to hear from candidates who are as energised about these opportunities as we are!
If your ambition feels like to matches ours – to improve, to drive and for Chesterfield to go from strength to strength across all our metrics – then we look forward to hearing from you.
