The Chief Medical Officer will be an integral part of this exciting change.

Join us in making a difference—apply now and contribute to our mission of delivering high-quality, patient-centered care.

The overriding purpose of the role is to support the provision of the highest quality patient care through personal actions and continuous improvement. We want to make Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust the best place in the NHS to work and receive care.

The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) is a full member of the Board of Directors and will provide advice to the Chief Executive and Board of Directors on all professional medical issues and lead clinical collaboration within the organisation and across Trust boundaries, in partnership with other clinicians.

The CMO is expected to contribute to the development and delivery of the wider organisational agenda, as well as taking a lead role in advising on and developing medical/clinical aspects of the Trust strategic plans, clinical service strategy, service reconfiguration, clinical performance and conduct, clinical governance, risk management, medical education, consultant appraisal, revalidation and job planning.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark, Sherwood and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do, and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically led organisation.

We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for anywhere in the Midlands for six years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHSrun hospital in the East Midlands.
