The role also involves supporting governance processes, including complaints and incident management, analysing operational performance data, and working collaboratively with clinicians and corporate teams to improve patient pathways and service efficiency.
This is a varied and rewarding role, offering the opportunity to contribute to projects that make a real difference to patient care while developing your operational management skills within a supportive and forward-thinking team. You will be encouraged to take ownership of delegated workstreams, build strong working relationships across the organisation and play an active role in driving continuous improvement across the Directorate.
