Head of Transformation

At Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust, our vision is to provide Outstanding Care to One + All. As Head of Transformation, you will play a key role within the Trust’s Performance, Partnerships and Transformation Directorate to support the Trust to deliver this vision.

The Head of Transformation will be a highly inspiring, visible and experienced leader, who will be responsible for leading the Trust’s transformation portfolio of work, with a specific focus upon Cost Improvement, Productivity and New Models of Care.

Working across RCHT and our local health and care system, you will engage with operational and clinical leaders to deliver tangible change programmes that address how we can transform our models of care to be as effective and efficient as possible.

The Head of Transformation will lead on key transformation programmes.

**Key programmes include**:
**Cost and Productivity Improvement**: We know that if we can reduce waste and improve productivity, we will improve patient care. The Trust has a significant financial challenge which can only be met through taking a clinically-led approach as to how our services can be improved and transformed. This role will lead the development and delivery of our internal cost improvement and productivity improvement programmes, in addition to supporting delivery of system-wide financial recovery programmes. To support this work, the postholder will be responsible for ensuring we have strong PMO oversight of our CIP and Productivity programmes.

**New Models of Care Programme**: The Trust’s Strategy sets a clear ambition for new models of care that will see the Trust focus on treating acutely unwell patients, with a greater proportion of care carried out closer to patients’ homes. This builds on our local system’s Joint Forward Plan, and will deliver better outcomes and quality for our patients. This role will work across system boundaries to develop a programme of work which delivers integrated pathways of care, putting patients at the centre of what we do.

You would be joining the Performance, Partnerships and Transformation Directorate, playing a key role within the senior leadership team of both the directorate and the Trust.

You will be joining a team that is committed to improving how things are done at RCHT and you will work in a friendly, supportive and flexible environment. We have an office on the main site, and the team combines working from home and working on the hospital site, with the expectation of regular attendance on site.
