A Vacancy at Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust.
Are you passionate about urgent and emergency care provision in the community?
If so, we are seeking a medical Divisional Director to shape and develop our community out of hospital offer to the 1.3 million people that we serve in Sussex.
This is an exciting opportunity to further transform integrated pathways of care for patients, particularly those living with frailty, working closely with both Primary Care and our Acute clinicians to improve admission avoidance and early supported discharge.
You will provide strategic direction and medical leadership within our new unplanned care triumvirate to our virtual wards, urgent community response services, urgent treatment centres, minor injury units, intermediate care bedded units, One Call, palliative care single point of access ECHO and overnight services across Sussex.
The Divisional Medical Director aspect of the role (5 PAs) assumes responsibility for:
Leading, co-ordinating and ensuring excellent clinical standards and a patient-centred approach is delivered equitably for all service users, families and carers.
Ensuring the voice of the patient is heard and this can be demonstrated in improvement.
Ensuring patient outcomes and productivity are maximised through the development and implementation of evidence-based care pathways and the reduction in unwarranted clinical variation.
Ensure safe medical staffing is delivered and lead the recruitment and retention within clinical services within portfolio.
Create with the Divisional Nursing Director, a strong, open, learning safety culture within the services.
Ensure continuous improvement, professional and leadership development and research are a core component to the clinical services within remit.
The direct clinical care aspect of the role (4 PAs or less) will deliver intermediate care bedded unit MDTs and a complex fall clinic.
We are the main provider of NHS community services across East and West Sussex, with 6,000 staff serving 1.3 million people. We deliver essential care to adults and children, helping them manage their health, avoid hospital admissions, and reduce hospital stays.
Our Trust vision is to provide excellent care at the heart of the community. We offer opportunities across medical, clinical, support, and corporate services.
Why work for us?
• Positive 2024 NHS Staff Survey results, highlighting compassionate leadership and wellbeing
• Varied environments: community hospitals, patients’ homes, and bases across Sussex
• Flexible working options: part-time, flexi-time, annualised hours, and flexi-retirement
• Excellent training, development, and research opportunities
• Cost-effective workplace nurseries in Crawley, Hove, and Brighton
• Active EMBRACE, Disability & Wellbeing, LGBTQIA+, and Religion & Belief networks
• Level 3 Disability Confident Leader and Veteran Aware Trust
• Beautiful Sussex location near the South Downs and coast
Our values—Compassionate Care, Working Together, Achieving Ambitions, Delivering Excellence—guide everything we do.
We embrace diversity and encourage applications from all backgrounds, particularly from ethnically diverse, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ individuals. We aim to create an inclusive environment and support reasonable adjustments during recruitment.
This post may close early if sufficient applications are received.
Applicants must hold Full GMC Registration and a Licence to Practice. Certificate of Completion of Training in Geriatric Medicine or equivalent and Inclusion on the GMC Specialist Register (or within 6 months at time of interview)
Please refer to attached Job Description for full details.
