Job of the week: Directorate General Manager for General Surgery

January 11, 2021

We have an exciting and challenging opening from January/February 2021 for a Directorate General Manager for General Surgery (8b) on a 6-12 month secondment. 

This is an exciting time to be joining the senior team in surgical services as we plan to develop, implement and embed service improvements to enable us to restart surgery following COVID and also to ensure that we are performing to our very best as we move into Midland Metropolitan University Hospital. We are keen to develop someone internally into this role who knows the organisation, the key stakeholders, our patients and our processes and understands the challenges of delivering high quality, patient focussed surgical services in this challenging and increasingly fast-paced environment whilst ensuring that colleagues are well cared for and appreciated.

Although you do not need to have direct experience of surgical services, you will need to have transferrable skills and you will need to be keen to take on new challenges and think about how we can work differently to achieve measurable success.

Please see the below job description and person specification for more details. The role is band 8b and plays a key part in our Group Senior Leadership Team as well as across the organisation.
