Clinical Governance Facilitator (Band 7)

Surgery (Plastic, Orthopaedic and Trauma)

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced, highly motivated, and enthusiastic individual to join our surgical directorate as the Clinical Governance Facilitator.

The post holder will support the directorate in meeting the regulatory requirements of external standards and inspections, such as those undertaken by the Care Quality Commission. You will work with clinical colleagues to deliver national and local clinical audits, service evaluations, implementation of NICE guidance and patient experience surveys. You will contribute to the improvement of patient care across the directorate, influencing practice, developing a proactive, open-learning and improvement culture.

We are looking for a dynamic and committed person who can demonstrate strong leadership and organisational skills, with excellent verbal and written communication skills. An analytical mindset is essential, as you work to identify trends and themes within datasets. You will have an understanding of clinical issues and demonstrate competent IT and presentation skills.

You will need to work independently as well as within a team, and demonstrate a desire to teach, learn and innovate practice. The department works closely with other services across the organisation and as a result, you will need to develop and cultivate a good network for service improvement.

Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust comprises five of the UK’s best known hospitals - Guy’s, St Thomas’, Evelina London Children’s Hospital, Royal Brompton and Harefield - as well as community services in Lambeth and Southwark, all with a long history of high quality care, clinical excellence, research and innovation.

We are among the UK’s busiest, most successful foundation trusts. We provide specialist care for patients including heart and lung, cancer and renal services as well as a full range of local hospital and community services for people in Lambeth and Southwark.

We have a long tradition of clinical and scientific achievement and - as part of King’s Health Partners - we are one of England’s eight academic health sciences centres, bringing together world-class clinical services, teaching and research.

We have around 22,700 staff, making us one of the largest NHS Trusts in the country and one of the biggest employers locally. We aim to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve and continue to develop new and existing partnerships with local people, patients, neighbouring NHS organisations, local authorities and charitable bodies and GPs.

We strive to recruit and retain the best staff as the dedication and skills of our employees lie at the heart of our organisation and ensure that our services are of the highest quality, safe and focused on our patients.
