Interim Deputy Director of People

3 months ago

King's Lynn, United Kingdom The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHSFT Full time

Job summary

Kindness, wellness, fairness. These are our Trust values and they need to run through everything we do. We're looking for someone who can help the People Services Team and the entire organisation embed our values and help us deliver exceptional people services to the organisation against the backdrop of significant financial challenge.

We have a new long term corporate strategy and People Plan and we are looking for someone who can provide inclusive, compassionate leadership to the People Services directorate while delivering against our ambitious People Plan priorities.

An ability to work collaboratively across internal and external teams, develop and deliver complex programmes of work with limited resources and provide assurance that we are operating to the highest possible standards. Experience of managing complex employee relations cases and developing processes that support a just and learning culture would be an asset. There will be opportunities to work with system partners on improving People Services across Norfolk and Waveney as well as our Electronic Patient Record and New Hospital programmes.

If your values and ambitions match ours and the opportunity to join our Trust attracts you, we look forward to meeting you through the recruitment process.

Fixed term or secondment for six months

Main duties of the job

We have made real progress as an organisation to modernise and improve the support we provide to the organisation, but we can do more to embed our values and develop an organisation and leadership team which reflect our population and workforce. We are also looking to take the next steps with the development and expansion of digital workforce systems and solutions.

We are actively seeking candidates from a variety of backgrounds who offer the leadership skills required to take our Trust forward. Your values and ability to inspire and harness the talents of others are more important than where you have gained your leadership experience. Candidates should have CIPD level 7, or be working towards and have significant academic or equivalent practical experience of Human Resources.

About us

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) King's Lynn is located near some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK, along the north Norfolk coast, and not far from Sandringham House.

We have more than 4,000 staff and volunteers, approximately 530 beds, and a helipad for air ambulances. We work with neighbouring hospitals for the provision of tertiary services, including as part of regional partnership and network models of care, such as the trauma network. Some specialist services and clinics are provided in community facilities, such as the North Cambridgeshire hospital in Wisbech.
