Programme Director - UEC Improvement

Band 8d

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, (LGT), is a community-focused provider of local and acute care, delivering high-quality services to over one million people living across the London boroughs of Lewisham, Greenwich, and Bexley. We provide whole-life care and are here to support our communities to live healthier lives as well as taking care of them when they need us the most.

Employing almost 7,500 colleagues, affectionately known as Team LGT, we provide services at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, University Hospital Lewisham, and at over a dozen community settings in Lewisham. We also provide some services at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Sidcup.

We have recently launched our new vision and values to mark the LGT10 – the tenth anniversary of our Trust forming in 2013. Our trust vision is to be exceptional. In the quality of our patient care; our support for colleagues; and in the difference we make through our partnerships and in our communities.

To achieve this we value Respect, Compassion, and Inclusion; Being accountable over  staying comfortable; Listening  over always knowing best; and Succeeding together over achieving alone. You can read more about our visions and values here

Our hospitals and community sites provide a wide range of inpatient and outpatient services, as well as emergency and planned care. The Trust is rated as “good” or “outstanding” in over three-quarters of the services inspected by the Care Quality Commission.

Every year our work includes performing 10,000 procedures in our theatres; bringing seven and a half thousand new lives into the world; carrying out 570,000 visits to patients in their homes or communities and providing emergency care for more than 300,000 patients arriving in our busy Urgent and Emergency Departments.

LGT is a centre for the education and training of medical students enrolled with King’s College London’s GKT School of Medical Education. We are a training centre for nurses, midwives and allied health professionals. We are pioneering new roles that will support the changing needs of our patients and are one of the largest employers of physician associates in the country.

We are committed to working with our partners to deliver the best outcomes for our local communities. This means playing an active role in the South East London Integrated Care System (ICS), and in formal partnerships including the South East London Acute Provider Collaborative, provider partnerships with our local mental health trusts and borough-based boards of the ICS in Bexley, Greenwich and Lewisham.

Trosolwg o'r swydd

We have an exciting opportunity to join Team LGT in a newly created post as Programme Director for UEC Improvement. As a credible senior leader with significant experience in operational management, urgent and emergency care and programme leadership you would be joining a set of teams delivering two large and complex UEC improvement programmes across each of our sites and boroughs. Reporting into one of our Deputy Chief Operating Officers you would have senior accountability for the strategic and operational delivery of these programmes and matrix manage a team of improvement programme managers from our central Improvement and Transformation Delivery Team.

At LGT, we are clear about the journey we are on to improve the experience for our staff and patients through our UEC pathways. We’ve made significant progress over the last year and have strengthened our operational, clinical and improvement teams to support this. We still have a lot of work to do, but know that we can do this through continuing to build and strengthen our relationships both in and outside of the hospitals.  Our approach encompasses strong collaboration,  sharp oversight and accountability, and celebration of our progress.
