Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust
Remuneration – VSM (Competitive)
This is a major opportunity for an inspirational and motivated operational leader to join Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust (WHT) and support our commitment to the ongoing provision of outstanding care to all patients within both Acute and the Community settings.
If you are an experienced operational leader, with proven leadership skills, now looking to develop your executive career, this exciting and demanding opportunity will be just what you are looking for!
WHT is an integrated provider of acute and community services for Walsall’s diverse population of around 284,000 people. Our main site, Manor Hospital, resides in the heart of the town and as a District General Hospital, we primarily serve the immediate population of Walsall, with some patients requiring more specialised treatment at neighbouring Trusts. This includes The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, with whom we have developed a Group structure under a shared Chief Executive, Chair and Group leadership team.
As a Group we have launched our vision for the future, with four strategic aims, referred to as the four Cs. Everything we do across both organisations should contribute towards achieving goals within at least one of these priority areas. The four Cs are:
Care; Colleagues; Collaboration; Communities
The four Cs are also aligned to our overall vision which is to ‘To deliver exceptional care together to improve the health and wellbeing of our communities’. Our vision is more than a few words – it reflects our aspirations, helps to guide our planning, support our decision making, prioritise our resources and attract new colleagues.
Our new Chief Operating Officer will play a pivotal role at the forefront of ensuring the delivery of operational excellence and leading the continuous improvement of our services. As our Chief Operating Officer you will work closely with other WHT Board colleagues, as well as with the wider Group Executive team.
You will also work with our colleagues in the Black Country Provider Collaborative and the Black Country ICS, helping to improve the health outcomes for local people and making the Black Country a healthier place with healthier people and healthier futures.
We are looking for a values based candidate, with proven leadership skills, a track record of service improvement and with the determination and ambition to support us in achieving our commitment and objectives.
