At University Hospitals Sussex, we are proud to put our patients first and our 20,000 colleagues across Sussex are passionate about providing excellent patient care, every time.
In April 2021 we merged Western Sussex Hospitals with Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals to form UHSussex. We now care for 1.8 million patients across Sussex in our seven hospitals and additional satellite facilities and community services.
We have bold ambitions – and in the year since we merged we have developed a new clinical operating model and strategy, enhanced our leadership team, and set out the ongoing improvements we want to make as part of the new ‘integrated care system’ for Sussex.
As a university hospitals trust, we have strong partnerships with local teaching and training organisations, including the universities of Sussex, Brighton and Chichester and the Brighton and Sussex Medical School. We draw on these partnerships to secure a strong pipeline of future talent as well as investing in research and academic excellence.
Our greatest strength is our workforce. Our colleagues are dedicated and compassionate. Through our Patient First strategy we are equipping all our people with the tools and skills they need to drive continuous improvement. In this way, we are able to provide fulfilling careers at the Trust, helping us to continue to attract and retain the brightest and best.
We have so many opportunities ahead of us, so we are now looking for an experienced, dynamic and inspirational Chief Strategy Officer to take us forward in this exciting next chapter and see our vision through to reality.
Our Chief Strategy Officer sits on our Executive Board and reports into our new Chief Executive Officer, Dr George Findlay. The post holder will have overall responsibility for:
Amongst the many exciting aspects of this portfolio, the Chief Strategy Officer will take strategic oversight for the delivery of our 3Ts (Teaching, Trauma and Tertiary Care) development at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, the first stage of which is due to be handed over to us later this year. This is a critical programme of work that will enable us to offer brand new, state-of-the-art healthcare facilities, providing an improved patient care and experience while enhancing our research capabilities.
With so many opportunities ahead of us, we are now looking for an experienced, dynamic and inspirational leader to take us forward in this exciting next chapter and see our vision through to reality.
