Job overview

Improvement Delivery Director

Band 8D (subject to evaluation)

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Improvement Delivery Director to lead the Trust's approach to improvement at the James Paget University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

As part of the Norfolk and Waveney University Hospitals Group, James Paget is on a significant journey of development and improvement. A Trust that is part of the New Hospitals Programme, an Electronic Patient Record and an Acute Clinical Strategy redesign are all current strategic priorities for the Group.

Main duties of the job

As the Improvement Delivery Director, you will develop an improvement approach working with the small improvement team, but mostly directly supporting the Divisions in delivering improvement and achieving operational excellence. The Improvement Director will be responsible for the delivery of the Trust improvement programme, working with the Division and corporate senior teams to develop transformational changes that deliver ongoing quality benefits and efficiencies.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

This is a senior role because we want someone with the gravitas and experience to make change happen at scale, however, the team is currently small, with (opportunity to grow), so we want someone whose whole modus operandi is to get alongside operational and clinical teams and coach them to change their thinking and deliver alongside them rather than tell them what to do. So if you are a helpful, positive, improvement leader, who knows what it is like to run operations in a hospital, and can bring energy, drive and ambition for improvement, then we want to hear from you.
