London, United Kingdom The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Chief Operating Officer

Competitive six figure salary

The Royal Marsden is one of the leading cancer centres in the world with a track record of developing new and better ways of diagnosing and treating cancer, The Royal Marsden contributes to improved outcomes for patients globally. Its primary aim is to deliver the best cancer treatment through world-leading research, operating a 'bench to bedside' strategy with our academic partner, The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR).

As a specialist provider, The Royal Marsden has a responsibility to innovate and ensure that it can act as a test bed of best practice for the NHS. The Trust has a history of trialling new technology, from intensity-modulated radiotherapy techniques to installing the UK's first Magnetic Resonance Linear Accelerator (MR Linac) machine and developing the largest and most comprehensive programme of robotic surgery in the UK.

The Trust is also the host and founder of RM Partners, one of 19 cancer alliances made up of healthcare providers along the pathway from primary care to specialist hospital provision. The Royal Marsden and RM Partners are pioneering new models of care, rapidly translating clinical research into clinical practice. Its focus is on transforming early diagnosis to improve cancer survival.

This is a board-level opportunity in a leading NHS trust that offers both operational responsibility and influence in relation to strategic development. Reporting to the Chief Executive, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day operation and performance of the Trust's clinical management divisions and non-clinical support functions. This includes overseeing hospital and day units in Chelsea, Sutton and Kingston; building constructive service relationships with key partners; and supporting the Royal Marsden's pioneering clinical research programme.

In this key leadership role, you'll focus on achieving the highest levels of safety and quality in patient care, along with efficient delivery of healthcare services and continuous improvement in business and financial performance.

You'll bring significant senior management experience in a major healthcare organisation. This will have included developing and implementing strategy, including the delivery of co-ordinated change across diverse professional groups and systems.

Demonstrating a business-centred approach to healthcare provision, you'll also have a good understanding of healthcare planning processes and key national healthcare issues. You'll be an exceptional communicator with strong negotiating skills, able to build relationships and wield influence at all levels, both inside and outside the organisation. An inspirational and credible leader, you'll be ready to engage and motivate a large specialist workforce.

At The Royal Marsden, we have a leading role in improving outcomes for patients with cancer worldwide and delivering innovation in the NHS. We can offer an exceptional career experience in a research active and collegiate environment.
