The role will be accountable to the Divisional Senior Manager (Quality).
You will be responsible for establishing and embedding a supportive, motivational and compassionate leadership culture across the station based operational teams. This is a key leadership role in supporting EMAS to deliver its vision and values. This role will support the Trust’s approach to clinical leadership, quality assurance and quality improvement and identifies priorities in the five domains of quality, aligned with the Care Quality Commission regulatory framework; caring, responsive, effective, well-led and safe.
