• Shape the Future: Lead workforce development through GP Vocational Training Schemes (VTS) and other educational programmes. 
• Represent and Influence: Be a senior ambassador for HUC to the stakeholders, commissioners, and regulatory bodies.

This role combines clinical and managerial responsibilities, offering a unique opportunity to lead transformative change while staying connected to hands-on patient care. Clinical duties will be performed on Mondays and Tuesdays (14:00 - 18:00) in St Albans IUCH. Remaining hours to be agreed.
