Chief Medical Officer

Reporting directly to the Chief Executive and a key member of the Board, you will play a central role in ensuring we maintain the clinical innovation and excellence that is central to the fantastic care we provide to our patients.

We are seeking an outstanding and compassionate leader with the experience and ambition to deliver Royal Papworth's current and future priorities, providing visible and transformational leadership for our outstanding medical staff. Understanding of how to lead doctors in multi-faceted environments, oversee their development, plan their activity, support their research and champion their work is central to the role.

As a member of our board, you will ensure our decisions are centred on patient care and outcomes. You will work closely with the Chief Nursing Officer in relation to patient safety and clinical effectiveness, as well as being the executive lead for one of our six strategic aims - leading nationally and internationally in heart and lung care.

We are actively seeking candidates from a range of diverse and inclusive backgrounds who offer the leadership skills required. Whilst welcoming applications from all suitably experienced candidates, we wish to encourage applications from ethnic minority and female doctors. Applications will be considered on their merits.
