Summary
We are looking for an experienced clinical leader to oversee our Wound Clinic Service. This is a countywide service, with around 130 staff and a budget of approximately £6m. It is an exciting time to join the service as it is going through a period of expansion.
We are looking for applicants with an appropriate clinical registration and significant leadership experience, ideally gained through managing a comparable service in terms of scale and complexity. Applicants will require an understanding of wound care, including the National Wound Care Strategy.
Key responsibilities include:
To be operational, clinically and professionally responsible for the quality standards and clinical improvement within the service.
To be responsible for the clinical effectiveness of the service, ensuring the delivery of high quality, patient centred, integrated, cost effective care across the service, having leadership responsibility for the teams.
To be responsible for the provision, co-ordination, and development of services, interpreting relevant policies and working with the General Manager to promote and foster partnership working across the Derbyshire system with commissioners, Primary Care Networks and other key stakeholders.
To provide operational leadership to the relevant clinical teams and team leaders and be responsible for the development and implementation of quality and performance monitoring arrangements.
To effectively apply a matrix approach across the organisation when developing quality outcomes, the core capabilities, knowledge and attitudes when considering care delivery.
We employ approximately 4,400 people, making us one of the largest providers of specialist community health services in the country. We serve a patient population of more than 1.1 million people across Derbyshire and Derby and have an annual budget of £200mn.
We became a standalone NHS organisation in 2011 and a Foundation Trust with greater autonomy from 2014. We were subsequently rated ‘Outstanding’ overall by the Care Quality Commission in September 2019. We’re now integral to the Joined Up Care Derbyshire (JUCD) partnership of health and social care organisations working ever more closely as an Integrated Care System.
We care for patients across a wide range of services and locations, including 10 community hospital and 28 health centres. We also deliver care from patients’ own homes, GP practices, schools and care homes. Our digital transformation programme and contemporary ways of working mean we’re also able to deliver high quality virtual care via remote consultations, where clinically appropriate.
Our own staff ranked us third best nationally in 'Britain's Healthiest Workplaces' survey (large organisations category).
Please review the attached job description and person specification. However, please note that this is subject to change, as a new, generic job description and person specification is currently being developed for all comparable positions within the Trust.
