Description
Within NHS England, South East Region, the Wessex Local Office is responsible for the planning, development, education and training of the future and current healthcare and public health workforce across Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight and Salisbury.
An opportunity has arisen for a Consultant with a strong interest in medical education and training to be the Training Programme Director in Obstetrics & Gynaecology.
Applications are invited from current STC members, or from those within the specialty who can demonstrate relevant interest in education and training.
The successful candidate will be responsible for the overall delivery of the Obstetrics & Gynaecology training programme. For more information regarding the post please refer to the attached Job Description with enclosed Person Specification.
The role of the Training Programme Director is to work with the Head of School in leading the delivery of a wide range of functions, aligned to NHS England mandate.
The Training Programme Director will focus upon improvement of learner supervision, assessment and experience, engagement of faculty and ensuring effective educational outcomes, both now and in the future. The role is evolving and will also focus on whole workforce transformation and developing multi-professional links.
The ideal candidate will be an experienced NHS Consultant with a thorough understanding of (specialty) training across the region and who will also have strong leadership and communication skills and be able to work effectively as a member of a multi-professional team.
NHS England has a wide range of statutory functions, responsibilities and regulatory powers. These are focused on supporting the wider NHS to deliver high quality care, as well as doing those things that are best done once for the whole NHS.
Our staff bring expertise across clinical, operational, commissioning, technology, data science, cyber security, software engineering, education, and commercial specialisms — enabling us to design and deliver high-quality NHS services.
In March 2025, the Government announced that NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care will increasingly merge functions, ultimately leading to NHS England being fully integrated into the department.
If you currently work within the NHS and if successful at interview, we will initiate an Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR).
