PROGRAMME DIRECTOR / STRATEGIC INTEGRATED CARE- GESH
ONE-YEAR FIXED-TERM SECONDMENT
Internal applications from St George's and Epsom and St Helier staff only.
St George’s, Epsom and St Helier Hospitals and Health Group (GESH) have agreed to an ambitious five-year strategy to improve the health of the communities they serve and to support everyone working for the organisations to maximise their opportunity to play a full role in delivering our shared vision.
GESH is committed to playing a full role in working with wider partners and local communities. This is reflected in partnerships being one of our nine key strategic initiatives. Whilst most of this work will be led at place we want to maximise learning and opportunities to enhance partner collaboration.
The Programme Director / Strategic Integrated Care will have the lead responsibility for establishing our strategic integration programme architecture and will work closely with the Managing Director / Integrated Care and our site Managing Directors as well as wider partners to establish GESH’s role and to drive forward our integration programmes to full benefits realisation.
The Programme Director / Strategic Integration will play a leading role in the development and delivery of the Group’s strategic ambition relating to working with partners.
In doing so, the postholder will work closely with the Managing Directors across the three sites of St George’s, ESTH and integrated care and the Trust's wider leadership team to ensure stretching but realistic goals and annual priorities are in place, and that the ambitions of all 4 places are supported and that GESH provides a consistent and delivery-focused approach to their contribution to wider partnership initiatives.
The post holder will also take a leading role in system wide strategic thinking and development, shaping how integration across the GESH Group is aligned to collaboration with other system partners.
The post holder will also represent the Group with external bodies and agencies, deputising for the Managing Directors as required.
The Programme Director will hold overall accountability for developing and holding the programme architecture and benefits realisation framework for the strategic initiative, drawing key information from local site and place programmes to ensure an appropriate strategic overview of progress across GESH.
With over 9,000 dedicated staff caring for patients around the clock, we are the largest healthcare provider in southwest London.
Our main site, St George’s Hospital in Tooting – one of the country’s principal teaching hospitals – is shared with St George’s, University of London, which trains medical students and carries out advanced medical research. St George’s Hospital also hosts the St George’s, University of London and Kingston University Faculty of Health and Social Care Sciences, which is responsible for training a wide range of
healthcare professionals from across the region.
As well as acute hospital services, we provide a wide variety of specialist care and a full range of community services to patients of all ages and have an established Community Diagnostics Centre at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Roehampton. St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust serves a population of 1.3 million across southwest London. Many services, such as cardiothoracic medicine and surgery, neurosciences, and renal transplantation, also cover significant populations from Surrey and Sussex, totalling around 3.5 million people.
The trust also provides care for patients from a larger catchment area in southeast England, for specialties such as complex pelvic trauma. Other services treat patients from all over the country, such as family HIV care and bone marrow transplantation for non-cancer diseases. The trust also provides a nationwide state-of-the-art endoscopy training centre.
