NHS England and NHS Improvement came together on 1 April 2019 as a new single organisation. The NHS Long Term Plan focuses on delivering integrated care to patients at the local level and we can best support the NHS to deliver this as a single integrated organisation.
At the NHS, we are reminded every day of how important life is. As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement whether that’s job share, part time or another flexible pattern. In addition, although the role advertised may have an ‘home’ office base indicated, we remain committed to supporting flexibility around workplace locations. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.
Our new operating model represents a strong shift to regional delivery supported by expert corporate teams. Local health systems are supported by our integrated regional teams who play a major leadership role in the geographies they manage.
We are jointly committed to creating and maintaining a fair and supportive working environment and culture, where contributions are fully recognised and valued by all and staff feel empowered to carry out their duties to the best of their abilities. As employers we are committed to promoting and protecting the physical and mental health and well-being of all our staff. This underpins our values as set out in the NHS Constitution, supports us to be an Employer of Choice and ultimately enables our employees to support the effective care of our patients.
The North East & Yorkshire Region has been funded to establish a new post of the Regional Director of Primary Care to provide leadership to all aspects of clinical care and outcomes, particularly focusing upon general practice but also other primary care services.
This post will report to the Regional Medical Director with a link to the National Primary Care Directorate and will support the delivery of the primary care and related aspects of the NHS Long Term Plan priorities in respect of improving health outcomes and primary care services in the North East & Yorkshire.
The post-holder will be a practising primary care clinician and will be expected to maintain a regular clinical commitment with the appointment made on a 0.6 WTE fixed-term or secondment basis for an 18 month period initially.
The successful applicant must be comfortable with matrix-working, working with both internal and external stakeholders whilst championing diversity and inclusion in all aspects of their work. They must also be comfortable to work in a hybrid model with a mix of office-based and virtual meetings and travel within the region and occasionally to London.
Please note that the reason for the fixed term of your contract is due to short term funding being available.
For further information on the post, please contact Dr Jonathan Slade, Medical Director for System Improvement and Professional Standards (jonathan.slade@nhs.net) in the first instance who can give further insight on the role on behalf of the NEY Regional Medical Director.
