Please see below for a detailed job description of the role.
Main duties of the job
This is an exciting opportunity to join us as our Head of Cost Improvement PMO, where you will provide senior leadership that influences, identifies, drives and delivers measurable cost improvement, whilst also considering quality improvement, operational improvement and strategic benefits.
Cost and efficiency improvement is an important corporate function within UHS. Reducing the cost of our services whilst maintaining quality and patient outcomes enables the organisation to ensure that every pound of NHS funding provides as much patient benefit as possible and meet our obligation to deliver a financially balanced budget.
The Cost Improvement Team is based in Trust Headquarters and is part of the Finance Directorate. As the Head of Cost Improvement PMO, you will:
Lead a team of four Cost Improvement Managers, who are aligned to each of the clinical divisions / THQ directorates. Work alongside senior operational and clinical leaders within the organisation, to support and challenge them to deliver CIP as part of their budgets.
The team's work follows a monthly and annual cycle, aligned to the trust's monthly financial reporting, Value for Money meetings with Divisions, and the NHS annual planning cycle. The team operate with a mixture of on-site and off-site work.
Job description
Job responsibilities
What you will do
Working alongside executive, divisional and care group colleagues, the post holder will manage the process of targeting, identifying, delivering and reporting corporate and divisional / directorate cost improvement schemes. You will need a high degree of motivational skill, working closely with colleagues at all levels in the organisation, clinical and non-clinical and where appropriate, outside of UHS, sometimes in challenging situations.
The post holder is responsible for driving change and monitoring the benefits of savings schemes across the Trusts clinical divisions and Trust Headquarters. The post holder will line manage the PMO Cost Improvement Managers.
You must be able to encourage and enthuse others to adopt and adapt to change at many levels, from local department improvements to broad implementation of national initiatives and directives.
This is a complex role requiring experience in service improvement and project management tools and techniques in industry or the NHS. The post holder will need to rapidly demonstrate an understanding of NHS acute hospital functions and financial management principles.
What we're looking for
You will probably have experience working in a project/change management or financial management role before, and be able to work proactively under your initiative. You will have a keen eye for detail and be able to work with your team to maintain/develop robust processes to validate savings and their associated projects.
You will be an excellent communicator who can work with colleagues from Board to Ward. You will be an active listener who can interpret operational information that can be translated into financial benefits that contribute to the Cost Improvement Programme.
You will be highly numerate, comfortable with financial and operational data, and able to interpret it for a range of audiences. This isn't a traditional finance role, but previous NHS finance experience would be highly advantageous.
