Description

The Chief Strategy, Partnerships and Transformation Officer will have a critical role on the Board, providing expert advice and support to define the strategic direction for the Trust, ensuring that this is aligned with wider system priorities and enables Trust staff to deliver high quality care to patients.

The postholder will also have responsibility for driving transformational change within the Trust and co-ordinating the re-design of services within the organisation, including directing key transformation programmes on behalf of the system as required.

This will include responsibility for driving the Trust's digital agenda, developing a clear timeline and programme for IT development plans, ensuring these are successfully implemented in alignment with clinical and Trust priorities.

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust is a community focused provider of local and acute care, providing high quality services to over one million people living across the London boroughs of Lewisham, Greenwich and Bexley.

With a turnover of around £700 million, we provide services at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, University Hospital Lewisham and a range of community settings in Lewisham.

We also provide some services at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup.

As an organisation, we've made significant improvements for patients and staff in the last two and-a-half years.

This is reflected in our most recent Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection (from February 2020), which found improvements across the organisation and gave us an improved rating of "Good" in the Well-Led and Effective domains, in addition to the rating of "Good" that we had already achieved in the Caring domain.

Our staff culture change programme has been key to the Trust's improvement journey, as we've stabilised our workforce by reducing vacancy rates and improving staff retention.

We've also significantly increased the representation of minority ethnic leaders across our clinical and corporate teams.
