NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is an organisation which is renowned for modern high-quality patient care and progressive medicine. It is therefore vital that we continue to attract and nurture the most talented and public service focused people, both locally and from around the world.
NHS Glasgow Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is the largest NHS Health Organisation in Scotland providing acute hospital, primary, community and mental health services to a population of 1.15 million plus providing specialist regional and national services to more than half of Scotland’s population.

The Acute Service (within which the Diagnostic and Regional Services Sector sits) provides a complex range of Hospital services across the population of Greater Glasgow and Clyde we are now looking to add to the strength of our Management team through the appointment to the following key post that has arisen due to the upcoming retiral of the current post holder:

The role of General Manager – Imaging Services is one that includes a lot of regional (and sometimes national) focus given the types of services carried out within the Directorate. As such the role would be well-suited to an individual who enjoyed strategic, as well as operational, management. The successful post-holder will be well-supported by an enthusiastic management team reporting into them including two deputy (Clinical Service Manager) posts and a range of senior clinical staff.
This post requires strong influencing and networking qualities and you will be required to evidence experience at a senior level in operational management in a healthcare or equivalent, complex environment and will have the ability to inspire confidence and respect to lead and deliver in a politically sensitive and demanding environment. Key to the success of this role will be the ability to contribute to the development of the imaging service whilst working in collaboration with other directorates within the Health Board, as most service developments that take place within our acute hospitals will involve our imaging services in some way.
