Overview
The role of Head of School is to work with and support the NHSE Postgraduate Dean in leading the delivery of a wide range of functions, aligned to the NHSE mandate. The Head of School is professionally and managerially accountable to the Postgraduate Dean's team. The Head of School will focus upon improvement of learner supervision, assessment and experience, engagement of faculty and ensuring effective educational outcomes, both now and in the future, and will also ensure there are adequate future workforce plans for the region. The role is evolving and will focus on whole workforce transformation and developing multi-professional links as well as innovative ways of curriculum delivery and workforce well-being strategies. To support the Postgraduate Dean, Heads of Schools work across the spectrum of health and where relevant, social care, within the context of a team, so that the provision of education reflects changing service models. This will deliver an integrated workforce comprising individuals from a spectrum of professional and other backgrounds. The Head of School will be expected to meet the challenges of leading the School and Education Providers to deliver the changing curricula in an evolving service landscape. Although the main role is to lead and develop the KSS Postgraduate School of Clinical Radiology, all senior clinicians within NHSE may have wider roles and projects as agreed with the Postgraduate Dean.

Our work supports the NHS to deliver high quality services for patients and best value for taxpayers. Our staff bring expertise across hundreds of specialisms -- including clinical, operational, commissioning, technology, data science, cyber security, software engineering, education, and commercial -- enabling us to design and deliver high-quality NHS services. We lead the NHS in England by:
* Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities

Onboarding and alignment
Earlier this year, the Government announced that NHS England will gradually merge with the Department of Health and Social Care, leading to full integration. The aim is to create a smaller, more strategic centre that reduces duplication and eliminates waste. If successful at interview, we will initiate an Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR). This retrieves key data from your current or previous NHS employer to support onboarding, including competency status, Continuous Service Dates (CSD), and annual leave entitlement. You may opt out at any stage of the recruitment process.
Remuneration
Salary is dependent on experience and aligns with sessional Head of School payments.
