We are about to embark on an ambitious Programme of acute healthcare transformation culminating in new state of the art facilities for residents of Leicester, Leicestershire, Rutland and the wider region. The Deputy Technical Director will form an essential component of the team who will deliver our programme; securing the clinical and financial sustainability of the Trust.

Working closely with specialist advisors, design teams, construction partners, clinical and reconfiguration colleagues, the Deputy Technical Director will assist leadership of a small internal team, a large external team, co-ordinate communication with a large number of internal stakeholders and support specific projects within the programme.

We are looking for applicants with a positive problem solving and dynamic approach to work.

This postholder will be responsible for the successful delivery of the Our Future Hospitals programme worth an estimated £1.5bn over multiple years including key deliverables around financial and programme management.

• Ensuring the outputs and benefits defined within the project scopes and the Business Cases are delivered on time, within allocated budgets and to the required standard of quality
• Managing workstream leads to ensure compliance with defined budgets and governance/reporting arrangements
• Ensuring that risk management and change control procedures are implemented and are actively used to assess the effect of any change to the project in terms of cost, timescales and resources; escalating where the budget is compromised

Staff

The postholder will be accountable for the delivery of all capital outputs by the team. This will involve managing the inputs and outputs across a diverse team of internal colleagues, including line managing other leaders within the team ensuring that aspects of performance, attendance, training and appraisal are addressed in accordance with Trust Policy.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We Have Four Primary Goals

• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
  
  

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
  
  

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
