    Description

    An outstanding individual is sought to fulfil the role of Head of School for Medicine in London.

    Please read the following job description thoroughly to ensure you are the right fit for this role before applying.

    The role of Head of School for Medicine is to work with and support the NHS England Postgraduate Dean in leading the delivery of a wide range of functions, aligned to the NHS England (NHS E) mandate.

    The Head of School is professionally and managerially accountable to the Postgraduate Dean. The Head of School will focus upon improvement of learner supervision, assessment and experience, engagement of faculty and ensuring effective educational outcomes, both now and in the future. The role is evolving and will also focus on whole workforce transformation and developing multi-professional links.

    • Work closely with Postgraduate Deans and Deputy Head(s) of School to implement the NHS E Quality Framework to enable improvements in education and training quality

    About us

    Our staff bring expertise across clinical, operational, commissioning, technology, data science, cyber security, software engineering, education, and commercial specialisms -- enabling us to design and deliver high-quality NHS services.

    We lead the NHS in England by:

    • Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities
    • Making the NHS a great place to work, where people can develop and make a difference
    • Working collaboratively to ensure our healthcare workforce has the right knowledge, skills, values and behaviours to deliver accessible, compassionate care
    • Optimising the use of digital technology, research, and innovation

    Earlier this year, the Government announced that NHS England will gradually merge with the Department of Health and Social Care, to create a smaller, more strategic centre that reduces duplication and waste.

    If successful at interview, we will initiate an Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR). This retrieves key data from your current or previous NHS employer to support onboarding, including competency status, Continuous Service Dates (CSD), and annual leave entitlement. You may opt out at any stage of the process.

    Colleagues with a contractual office base are expected to spend, on average, at least 40% of their time working in-person.

    Applicants from within the NHS will be offered on a secondment basis only, agreement should be obtained from their employer prior to submitting the application. xpwpeyx
