Lead transformational change across Urgent and Emergency Care in Gloucestershire

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an exceptional system leader to join Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust (GHC) as a host employer for the Gloucestershire Provider Partnership (GPP).

The GPP brings together Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Gloucestershire's GP Collaborative to deliver transformational change and greater integration across health and care services across Gloucestershire. Working alongside system partners including the Integrated Care Board, Gloucestershire County Council and the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector, the partnership is committed to improving outcomes, reducing inequalities and delivering more joined-up, proactive care for local communities.

While employed by GHC, you will work on behalf of the partnership, providing system-wide leadership to deliver urgent and emergency care transformation priorities across Gloucestershire. You will work alongside Programme Directors for Mental Health and Neighbourhood Health, and the Director of Transformation and PMO, helping to shape and deliver a shared vision for transformational change across the county.

We have a skilled and dedicated workforce of over 5000 colleagues working in a diverse range of services over 55 sites and within people’s homes. We strive to enable a welcoming workplace culture that builds and celebrates civility, inclusivity and diversity, while providing a sense of belonging and trust.

Annual staff surveys, regular Pulse surveys and other engagement opportunities provide our people with lots of opportunity to tell us about their experiences of working with us.  In the latest staff survey, 61% of colleagues gave us their views.  It was great to hear that:

• 72% of colleagues would recommend the Trust as a place to work, ranking us 1st for Provider Trusts in the South West region on this question.
• 76% would recommend the standard of care provided in our services if a friend or relative needed treatment, also ranking us 1st in the South West region.
• 81% said that care of patients and service users is the Trust’s priority, compared with an average in comparable NHS Trusts in England of 64%.

This high-level overview shows we are in a healthy position, with higher scores than average for comparable organisations, alongside a great response rate, indicating good staff engagement.  However, we also know we have plenty of room for improvement in many areas. To that end, we continue to prioritise and invest in our commitment to genuinely becoming a Great Place to Work with consistent top-quartile performance in the annual staff survey and Pulse surveys.
