Job Advert
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.
NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
The shift pattern is Monday - Friday 09.00-17.00.
The post holder is required to be a self-starter and established leader who can work with stakeholders from front line staff to Exec Level to shape, support and drive forward programmes of service change across Older People Services and South Locality within Glasgow City HSCP and across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
An ability to utilise a range of project management and service improvement techniques coupled with an awareness of the use of data to deliver service change projects is essential. The post holder will require excellent communication skills, both written and oral. They will present confidently and persuasively in a wide variety of formats and will be un-phased by Executive scrutiny.
They will use these skills along with proven line management expertise to drive forward a small team of service improvement officers who support a wide portfolio of work as part of the Older People's Planning Team. The team and service have a strong focus on development of staff and individuals, collaborative working and learning and the post holder will have the opportunity to develop as a senior change and planning specialist supporting high-profile programmes of work across the health and social care sector.
