Interim Chief Operating Officer

Job overview

Our vision at Hampshire Hospitals is to provide outstanding care for every patient, and, in these financially challenged times, we are looking for a competent professional colleague, who lives our values, and can support our amazing teams to deliver that outstanding care, cost effectively.

We have six transformation programmes underway, and the COO is the lead executive for Urgent & Emergency Care, and for Elective Care, both of which aim to improve care and reduce costs.   This is a full board member role and a key part of the Trust Board and the Executive Team.

The COO is accountable for our three clinical divisions and for our Facilities teams.  The strong leadership teams in our divisions will undoubtedly support the successful candidate to succeed and this is a great opportunity for someone to develop their experience at Board level.

Main duties of the job

We are looking for an interim Chief Operating Officer for at least 6 months starting in mid July.  Our current COO leaves at the end of July and we are deferring the recruitment of a substantive appointment until our new CEO is in post, which we would anticipate being in the autumn.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

We are restricting applications to existing employees of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight NHS System only.

Interviews will be on the 3 June in Basingstoke.

Please attach a copy of your CV and covering letter.
