We want to be known for our pursuit of outstanding health outcomes and excellent patient and staff experience. We want to further develop our local hospital services in a way which better integrates them with community services, and ensure only patients who need to come into hospital for care do so. We also have an ambition to grow and further develop our specialist services to secure our future as a leading specialist centre.

The standards apply to all of us, are part of everybody’s job and apply to every action we take, every decision we make and how we care for our patients, their family members, carers and each other.

Job overview
We are looking for a new Chief Operating Officer, a central role underpinning our capability to deliver our vision and ambition as we enter this next phase in the development of our Trust. This is a rare opportunity to run the operations of one of the biggest and busiest NHS Trusts in the country. The post-holder is responsible for providing visible and transformational leadership across the Trust, having a direct influence on all 19,000 staff in the organisation.
Advert
The post-holder will work closely with the Medical Director and Chief Nurse in forming a central triumvirate of leadership, inspiring a culture of collaboration in developing, promoting, and delivering the Trust’s strategic vision. This includes enabling diversity in all its forms, promoting staff wellbeing, and creating a just culture of learning and improvement.
We seek an inclusive and inspirational leader who demonstrates our Trust values and who can build, lead, motivate and develop our multidisciplinary teams to improve performance and deliver excellent care and experience to patients.
We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and welcome applications from under-represented groups, so we bring diversity of perspectives to thinking and are inclusive of the population.
NUH is one of the biggest and busiest NHS Trusts in the country. With over 19,000 staff and a budget of around £1.7bn, we deliver a range of emergency, planned and specialist services to more than two and a half million residents of Nottinghamshire, its surrounding communities as well as those that access our specialised services from across the country.
Working for our organisation
We are an ambitious organisation with a deep commitment to the continuous improvement of our services to deliver safe, high quality and effective care that is sustainable for the future health and wellbeing of our populations. We are the third biggest teaching hospital in the country and are proud of our strong links to the University of Nottingham, Nottingham Trent University and Loughborough University. This allows for the provision of excellent training and education for our students. We are also one of the most research active places outside of London-Oxford-Cambridge and host the National Institute for Health Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre and Nottingham Clinical Research Facilities, which together are centres of excellence for clinical research, as well as the life sciences and technology industries at which Nottingham excels.
As our role in the Integrated Care System continues to evolve, we are working closely with partners to meet increasing demands and to effect sustainable system change. Through our “People First” initiative, we have set out a clear and ambitious roadmap for the future of the Trust, which demonstrates how we will address out three top priorities of flow through the hospitals, leadership and culture and recruitment and retention.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
‘Tomorrow’s NUH’ is one of the ‘full adopter’ schemes in the Government’s New Hospital Programme, set to receive funding towards the end of the decade. We have a unique and exciting opportunity to significantly invest in our buildings, our people, and the technology we use in ways that will make a real difference to the health and lives of the people in our local community over the longer term. In the short term, we have a substantial capital programme which will secure improvements in the short term. In addition, we are in the construction phase of the first National Rehabilitation Centre, which will open to patients in early 2025.
