Do you have a flair for presenting data in creative and engaging ways? Do you want to train others in improvement methods? Do you want to work in a supportive and dynamic team with the opportunity to learn new skills? If the answer to these questions is yes, then we have a fantastic opportunity for you to join our Quality Directorate as an Improvement Manager in the Improvement Team.
North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) is on an ambitious journey to embed a culture of improvement across our organisation. We’re committed to delivering high quality, safe, and efficient care for our patients and communities and we need passionate leaders to help us achieve this vision. This is an exciting opportunity to join a team at the forefront of innovation, influencing change that truly makes a difference.
This role is pivotal in shaping the NWAS Improvement Approach, driving measurable improvements in outcomes, experience, and value. You’ll work alongside system partners, clinicians, and senior leaders to tackle some of the most complex challenges in urgent and emergency care. In return, we’ll support your professional development with access to improvement science training, leadership opportunities, and the chance to influence change at scale. If you’re ready to make a lasting impact and grow your career in a dynamic, forward-thinking environment, we’d love to hear from you.
Ability to travel between NWAS and hospital sites is also required.
North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust provides 24 hour, 365 days a year accident and emergency services to those in need of emergency medical treatment and transport.
Our highly skilled staff provide life-saving care to patients in the community and take people to hospital or a place of care if needed.
We also provide non-emergency patient transport services for those patients who require non-emergency transport to and from hospital and who are unable to travel unaided because of their medical condition or clinical need.
Alongside the other emergency services, we also work to ensure the safety of the public and treatment of patients in the event of a major incident.
We also deliver the NHS 111 service in the North West. NHS 111 replaced NHS Direct in 2013. This service was introduced to make it easier for people to access local NHS healthcare services in England. It provides non-emergency medical help fast, and is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
