This role sits at the operational centre of UHD. You will be accountable for performance, flow and the delivery of safe, high-quality care across our sites. The complexity is real. So is the opportunity to make a difference that matters. You will lead:
* Operational delivery across all three hospital sites, setting the standard and holding it
* Urgent and emergency care performance and system resilience
* Rapid, decisive responses to operational pressure calmly and clear on priorities
* Care group accountability and alignment, driving consistency without stifling clinical leadership
* Trust-wide performance against national standards
This is a role with genuine authority, genuine accountability and genuine scope to shape how we operate.
Our £500m investment programme is already reshaping our infrastructure, our digital capability and our clinical models. The Deputy COO is central to making it land, translating strategic ambition into operational reality, at pace.
You will drive:
* Trust-wide pathway redesign rethinking how care flows
* Integrated care models across Dorset ICUs beyond organisational boundaries
* Step-change performance in flow, access and emergency care
* Modern, digitally-enabled operations fit for the future
You have spent your career learning how to run complex operational systems under pressure. You know what good looks like and you are hungry to deliver it at the highest level. We are ready for you.
Joining UHD at Deputy COO level means joining a leadership team that is serious, committed and works well together. We are building something together and we want people around the table who will push us to be better, not just agree with us.
As a leadership community, we are collectively driving:
* A transformational chance in patient and staff experience
* The development of the next generation of operational leaders – investment in our staff is our priority
* Performance and quality through partnership across the Trust and across the system
* An organisation with a reputation that attracts the best and keeps them
We are not looking for someone to fill a seat. We are looking for someone who will make the seat mean something.
