Job description
Job responsibilities
People are living longer, with more complex health issues which brings increasing financial pressures on health services and these are mirrored locally.
The local health and care system recognises that to really meet these challenges we must take a longer view, they are not things that can be fixed overnight and we need to look at new ways of thinking and doing to make the difference that we have not been able to make to date.
This requires changes to the way that we provide services to meet the changing needs of our local population.
Dudley is an area that has risen to that challenge. We are working differently to make the changes required, to think about solutions and make them happen. We have established teams without walls who focus on the person at the centre and their care needs and our aim is to wrap community and primary care services around the needs of the population.
We arelooking for exceptional individuals with the drive and enthusiasm to change how healthcare is delivered and make a real difference to the people we serve.
We are looking for people unafraid to challenge the norm and to innovate new ways of delivering care whilst engaging and managing their teams to feel passionate about improving patient experience.
