DIVISIONAL GENERAL MANAGER – Surgery & Families Division

Do you want to be part of leading something big right from the start? If you are a values-driven, experienced leader, who is passionate about creating a great place for care and a great place to work, we want you to consider applying for one of our new Divisional General Manager positions and joining our Divisional senior leadership teams.

We are completing a significant change to our organisational structure, as we move to three large clinical divisions across Morecambe Bay and these new roles are key to our success.

These positions offer a fantastic opportunity to be part of exciting changes at Morecambe Bay. You will be responsible for continually improving the quality of services to patients, and redesigning services to meet best practice standards.

You will be a visible leader and provide direction to the services within the Division, in collaboration with your triumvirate colleagues, to develop the strategy for the Division, playing a key role in identifying opportunities for clinical innovation and modernisation, the delivery of all operational performance targets, waiting list and financial management, bed utilisation and management.

We believe that the NHS workforce is a rich and diverse mix of talented people, and we welcome applications for these roles from all disciplines – Nursing, Midwifery, Allied Health Professional, Health Care Scientist, Operational Management, as well as colleagues with other relevant senior experience and competencies.

We are looking for authentic people, who lead with compassion, curiosity and courage.

The Trust encourages applications from those with diverse backgrounds and lived experience that help us to better understand and deliver for our communities. We also support flexible working and will work with you to meet our needs and yours, whenever possible.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of our continuous improvement journey and we look forward to hearing from you if you think this role at UHMB is right for you.

We operate from three main hospitals - Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) in Kendal, as well as a number of community healthcare premises including Millom Hospital and GP Practice, Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe, and Ulverston Community Health Centre.

FGH and the RLI have a range of General Hospital services, with full Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units and various Consultant-led services.

WGH provides a range of General Hospital services, together with an Urgent Treatment Centre, that can help with a range of non-life threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.

All three main hospitals provide a range of planned care including outpatients, diagnostics, therapies, day case and inpatient surgery. In addition, a range of local outreach services and diagnostics are provided from community facilities across Morecambe Bay.
