United Kingdom Transform MS CIC Full time

Programme Director Role Summary:

Job Title: Programme Director

Headline Purpose of the Role:   To contribute to the development of and lead/coordinate the successful implementation of the TMSFA national transformation programme to improve the care services, experience and outcomes for people with MS

Responsible To: Full reporting line to Michael Paisey (TMS CiC Board); dotted reporting line to David Rog (Senior
Responsible Officer for TMSFA)

Manages: Digital Communications & Administration Officer, plus additional team members as recruited

Budgetary Responsibility: As per self-generated funding secured for implementation
projects

Type of Contract: Fixed term for 12 months.  Permanent appointment pending further funding for year 2 and beyond.  The postholder will be expected to generate their salary through future work/applications

Salary:  £75,000 dependant on experience.

Work Pattern: Full Time – if necessary, can be negotiated

Location: Remote working

Personal Flexibility: Agreed beforehand - occasional travel to London, Plymouth attendance at national/international MS Events and to MS Centres across the UK, especially whilst relationships are built up   

Full Job Description – Programme Director      

Strategic Context:

In 2019 an audit of 70 UK MS Centres identified a care crisis and a treatment paradox.  It predicted that if these issues were not addressed promptly there would be further deterioration in care quality. 

MS Care Crisis:  the audit demonstrated that services for people living with MS (PLwMS) across the UK are in crisis with a widespread recognition among the MS clinical community that something must be done to improve care.  The audit demonstrated high and expanding caseloads, inconsistent team staffing structures, inadequate staffing when compared with recommendations, limited access to MS specialist clinicians (neurologists, nurses, coordinators, pharmacists and neuroradiologists), poor data maturity, a limited ability to influence change and variation in prescribing.  A central problem identified by the audit was the lack of a strategic approach to MS care development that would enable the limited pool of skilled personnel to work to the top of their license resulting in wasteful acting down and dangerous acting up.

MS Care Paradox:  the audit of MS Centres exposed the paradox.  That is, year on year, there is more MS teams can do for PLwMS to influence the natural history of the disease.  Yet, year on year, there is less MS teams can do for PLwMS due to limited care quality which is diminishing.  This is not just a consequence of the crippling service pressures created by the MS Care Crisis described above but is also worsened through highly skilled and experienced MS specialists (particularly Consultants and Nurses) who are retiring, or choosing to leave the NHS in unprecedented numbers.  A knock-on impact of this paradox is that MS care is failing to attract sufficient high-quality staff to address the retention issue and does not have a strategic succession planning approach to ensure knowledge and experience transfer.

TMSFA is a collaboration of the 70 MS Centres across the UK.  It was formed in response to the audit and has a shared purpose to deliver transformation which results in improved care services, experience and outcome for people living with MS.

Job Purpose:

Collaborating with joint Senior Responsible Officers (SROs), the Programme Director (PD) will play a role in leading, shaping and contributing to the implementation of the national TMSFA programme. They will maintain oversight of, and coordinate all, programme activity ensuring successful delivery of expected improvements, benefits and outcomes. 

As PD, they will partner with internal and external stakeholders to drive forward successful delivery of the national transformation programme ensuring alignment to overall objectives and priorities set by the TMSFA collaboration.  They will be the change expert, partnering with the SROs and all MS Centres, in the design and implementation of large-scale change programmes that supports the future care model, improves quality of patient care, improves patient and staff experience, enables continued cultural change, improves efficiency and productivity of clinical pathways and services.

The PD will proactively look ahead and gather relevant information to inform the future direction of the transformation effort.  They will have an external lens through which to identify national and international world class standards of healthcare and engage with others to accelerate adoption of appropriate best practice.  In doing so, they will effectively engage and involve MS experts from across the MS Centres and beyond including international MS experts and those from Pharma.  They will ensure that resources from a range of disciplines and professional areas such as clinical, operational, digital, change, communication, HR, finance and external suppliers are in place to support the transformation programme.  They will provide regular assurance to the joint SROs / Transform MS board relating to progress and outcomes to inform strategic decision making and will provide regular updates to all stakeholders to ensure there is a common understanding of progress and outcomes.
