You will be working closely alongside clinical and administrative teams to ensure the smooth day to day running and development of our Maternity and Neonatal Services. As you can expect from this type of role, your responsibilities will be varied and will include operational responsibility for the delivery of key divisional and organisational targets, being a primary contact for patient concerns, providing monthly activity and performance reports, taking part in the bed management rota and line management of a number of administrative staff.
We are looking for an individual with experience in operational management in the NHS who is keen to develop at a band 7 level. You will have an excellent understanding of both divisional and Trust clinical and operational pressures.

At the RUH we’re proud to put people at the heart of what we do, working together as one team to make a difference for our patients, each other, and our community. No matter what your role is, we value everyone’s contribution in supporting the exceptional, person-centred care we pride ourselves on.
We are committed to creating a compassionate and inclusive environment. This can be seen in our growing community of staff networks – celebrating successes and creating opportunities to listen and learn. We value our differences, champion kindness and civility, and truly believe that diversity makes us stronger.
A culture of learning, developing and innovating is the thread that runs throughout our whole organisation. We want to support you to thrive, taking your career to its full potential.
We value staff wellbeing, with a well-established programme of support. We believe in a holistic approach spanning all aspects of living a healthy life, including physical, emotional, spiritual and financial wellbeing. We’ve even got a pool!
We are committed to supporting you and hope you want to join our team. In the meantime, find out more about living and working the beautiful historic city of Bath, learn about our extensive package of staff benefits, and read about how we’re providing healthcare fit for the future with the landmark Dyson Cancer Centre and our passion for research.
