Main duties of the job

An exciting opportunity has arisen for 4 enthusiastic and motivated senior doctors in training (above ST4 or equivalent) with an interest in leadership, management and quality improvement to join the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust as chief registrars.

The chief registrar role provides senior trainees with 40% protected time to develop skills and confidence in leadership, management and quality improvement. Learning that chief registrars gain from the Royal College of Physicians' (RCP's) bespoke development programme will be put into practice in a supported environment that provides autonomy, flexibility and support to develop and support projects that address key local challenges and priorities. This may include service improvement, engagement and morale, education and training, workforce, and sustainability.

About us

The chief registrar role will suit trainees who:

Want to learn about leadership and gain senior leadership experience
Are comfortable working in uncertain environments and across traditional boundaries
Relish the opportunity to develop their own ideas and initiatives
Are committed to and passionate about improving the NHS.

The chief registrar will be mentored by Medical Associate Directors within the organisation and gain a unique insight into NHS leadership and management processes, as well as deeper knowledge of NHS structures and stakeholders.

The chief registrar will be expected to attend modules delivered as part of the RCP's bespoke development programme, which will cover, for example, change management, team culture and development, quality improvement, leadership, influencing and personal resilience.
