Full Job Description

The Trust is looking for a dynamic and motivated individual to lead its Contact Centre function, with corporate responsibility for all the Trust Contact Centres and leading on the integrated response model of 999, 111 and non-emergency patient transfer functions. This pivotal role will provide senior leadership for the delivery of operational, workforce and financial performance of the Trust's Contact Centres, and will assume responsibility for the achievement and maintenance of its key performance targets.

We are looking for a senior leader, with an extensive record of accomplishment and experience in contact centre leadership or within the wider NHS. The successful candidate will demonstrate compassionate and inclusive leadership and will maximise employee engagement to build a positive workforce committed to improving patient outcomes. Strong strategic thinking and relationship-building skills-both internally and externally-are essential to meet the complex demands of emergency, social, and healthcare services.

The Trust is entering an exciting time of change, and the successful candidate will be pivotal in shaping the future of the organisation.
