Overview
Join our team to drive high-impact healthcare implementation projects, partnering with clinical leaders to implement behavioural changes that deliver better patient outcomes and greater value. This role goes beyond project administration: you will apply proven change methodologies (including GIRFT) to embed sustainable behavioural improvements in clinical practice.
Key Responsibilities
Clinical Change Leadership
- Collaborate directly with Consultants, GPs, Dentists, and multidisciplinary teams to understand current workflows and target areas for improvement.
- Apply GIRFT principles and other evidence-based methodologies to redesign processes, reduce waste, and improve patient pathways.
- Facilitate behavioural change through coaching, workshops, and frontline engagement—ensuring that new practices are adopted and sustained.
Outcome & Value Focus
- Set clear metrics for clinical outcomes (e.g., reduced waiting times, enhanced patient safety) and cost/value improvements (e.g., optimized resource use).
- Monitor performance dashboards, analyse data trends, and adjust interventions to maximise impact.
- Demonstrate tangible ROI by linking behavioural changes to both quality and efficiency gains.
Stakeholder Engagement
- Build strong relationships with senior clinical and operational leaders, aligning project goals with organisational priorities.
- Communicate progress, risks, and benefits clearly to executives, clinical boards, and frontline staff.
- Act as a trusted advisor, balancing clinical insight with pragmatic operational solutions.
Programme Management (with a Change Focus)
- Develop high-level roadmaps and detailed plans that incorporate change-management activities, not just project gates.
- Coordinate multidisciplinary resources, ensuring clinical time is protected and improvement activities are integrated into daily routines.
- Maintain risk registers and benefit-realisation plans to track both implementation and sustainability of change.
Requirements
Clinical Registration & Experience
- Current professional registration (GMC, NMC, GDC, etc.) with at least five years at a senior practitioner level (e.g., Consultant, Lead Nurse, Senior Dentist).
- Minimum 3–5 years leading clinical improvement or transformation initiatives, demonstrating behavioural-change implementation that improved outcomes and value.
GIRFT & Quality Improvement Expertise
- Thorough understanding of the GIRFT programme (or equivalent quality-improvement frameworks) and how to apply its principles in practice.
- Proven track record of embedding evidence-based changes in clinical settings, resulting in measurable patient and operational benefits.
Skills & Attributes
- Strong analytical ability: skilled at interpreting clinical and operational data to drive decisions.
- Exceptional communication and influencing skills—comfortably engaging senior clinicians and executives.
- Proactive, solution-oriented mindset with excellent facilitation and coaching abilities.
- Flexible and willing to travel across the UK to work on client sites.
Start Date & Duration
- Project begins August 2025. Contractors must be available on site and adaptable to changing priorities.
Applicants who can combine clinical credibility, deep GIRFT/quality-improvement expertise, and a proven history of driving behavioural change for better outcomes are encouraged to apply
