Service General Manager - Neonatal
Band 8a
Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic individual to join our friendly and dedicated team as a Service General Manager (SGM) on a 12 month fixed term or secondment basis.
As an SGM you will be a core part of the Perinatal Management team, facilitating service improvement and improved quality of care across the Neonatal Service. This is based over two sites, and moving between both is imperative to show visibility and support to the team
You will work closely with your General Manager, Deputy General Manager and Head of Service to ensure effective service development, operational management and delivery of high-quality patient services for your clinical areas. We have a clear agenda relating to service redesign, modernisation and new ways of working to meet the ever-growing levels of patient activity and service demands: therefore a logical thinker with strong organisational and influencing skills is a key requirement for this role.
Main duties of the job
We are looking to recruit staff whose values are in line with our Trust values. We are a large and busy healthcare provider and want staff who are resilient, focused and who have a “can do attitude”. Applicants for this busy and dynamic role will need to have demonstrable experience of monitoring and managing healthcare targets, a team of other staff and budgets. It will also be essential that you understand health service provision. You will also be an excellent communicator, both verbal and written, and will need to understand and report on complex performance information.
Candidates will be high achievers, have high levels of energy and enthusiasm, a personality that is upbeat and motivated and an ability to lead in an engaging way with well-developed communication and relationships skills.
If you believe you have the skills, expertise and motivation to be part of a dynamic and forward-thinking team, please contact us for further information.
Working for our organisation
With over 19,000 staff, we are one of the biggest employers in the city with a central role in supporting the health and wellbeing of our local population. We play a leading role in research, education and innovation.
Come and join our wonderful team at NUH. We are big believers in diversity and welcome new ideas to help develop our team in order to deliver world class healthcare to the vast patient populations we serve.
