  Job summary

  Divisional Director Surgery, ITU and Cancer Newham Hospital

  Newham Hospital is looking for a talented and motivated clinical leader to join the hospital executive board as divisional director for surgery, ITU and cancer.

  The divisional director will lead the division with support from the Divisional Manager/Associate Director for Elective Care and Associated Director of Nursing to deliver high quality care to the local people of Newham.

  There is flexibility for the role to be undertaken at between 4 to 6 PAs, depending on availability and preferences

  Main duties of the job

  This is an exciting time for Newham with the development of an orthopaedic High Volume Low Complexity (HVLC) surgical hub in a stand-alone unit on the Newham Hospital campus which is also the host for Barts Health Group Orthopaedic Clinical Network. The hospital delivers elective day case and short stay surgery from the main hospital site. Further work is under way to secure funding to open 2 further elective theatres which will then total 4 elective and 3 emergency theatres on the main hospital site in addition to the 4 theatres in our standalone elective unit. The surgical strategy for Barts Health is that this will become a second HVLC hub delivering gynaecology and general surgery for the Trust. We have recently opened a brand-new state of art 12 bed ITU here at the hospital.

  The Divisional Director role is a key clinical leader and member of our hospital executive board reporting directly to the hospital chief executive. The role is critical to the delivery of our strategic surgical vision for the hospital and the group. It is expected that the successful candidate will be a highly visible individual able to influence across the wider organisation at all levels of seniority. Our teams and patients are at the centre of what we do and therefore values based compassionate leadership are a must.

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
