Thank you for your interest in joining us as Director of Operations for the Surgery, Anaesthetics & Critical Care Division; this post is a vital leadership role within our organisation. The Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) has a wide-ranging improvement programme, including key operational commitments to improve access to Urgent & Emergency Care, Elective services, Cancer services and Diagnostic services. The organisation is proud of recent improvements made, but also humble about how much more we have to do.

 You will be joining at an exciting time for the Trust and for healthcare services within Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin. The Trust has recently committed to forming a Group between SaTH and Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust, and now has a substantive Group Chair and Chief Executive Officer in common in place - creating the opportunity for greater collaboration and partnership working between the two organisations. The Trust also has a Chief Operating Officer (COO) and two Deputy COOs that have recently commenced in post, and so successful candidates will have the chance to join a newly formed senior leadership team.

This will be an incredibly rewarding leadership role, within an ambitious senior leadership team. We are committed to working together to provide excellent care for our patients and a rewarding professional experience for our colleagues.
