Those huge small victories

There will be challenges along the way but there will also be the smallest moments which feel like a huge small victory!
Our homes accommodate young people with social, emotional and mental health needs, and our aim is to create the best possible outcome for the young people in our care.

Job Description
General Manager - Medical Services Care Group
Health & Care Jersey has an exciting opportunity for talented individuals to join our team and drive improvements in the provision of acute care for Jersey’s islanders. With a new acute hospital build on the horizon, preparation for regulatory assessment underway and the need to shape and evolve our services that include considerations regarding off island contracting, there are complex and rewarding areas of work that will provide an exciting portfolio for the successful candidates. This role will require a motivated, experienced leader with a proven track record in building effective multi-professional relationships to deliver positive outcomes within an acute provider setting but also across a health system.
Health Care Jersey is seeking to recruit an experienced healthcare operational colleague to contribute to the collective leadership of care groups in Acute Services. Accountable to the Chief of Service, the General Manager is a critical component of the senior leadership team for the care group with core responsibilities that include budget management, day to day operational oversight of service delivery and improvements to access and waiting list performance through capacity and demand modelling and business planning. The role holder will work as an effective member of the SLT, alongside Care Group Lead Nurses/Director of Midwifery to provide visible and compassionate leadership to clinical and non-clinical colleagues in Health & Care Jersey. Predominantly working at Jersey General Hospital in St Helier but also at The Enid Quenault Health and Wellbeing Centre (a new healthcare facility) they will line manage assistant general manager and care group administrative staff delivering both inpatient and outpatient services and care.
Jersey is a unique place to live and work and being a General Manager in Jersey is different. As a crown dependency, we are an Island nation which includes our own Health Care Service that is not part of the NHS.
Health & Care Jersey benefits from a small local population and a close-knit medical team as well as support from tertiary centres in the UK such as Southampton, Royal Marsden, Oxford, Cambridge and Great Ormond Street.
The Medical Services Care Group provides both inpatient and outpatient including ambulatory and day care procedures across acute, general and speciality medical services. With comparably lower levels of activity than the UK, however there is scope for modernisation and system wide working to ensure effective services tailored to patients that promote preventative and admission avoidance alongside necessary high quality and effective inpatient care. With responsibility for pathology, oncology and endoscopy as some examples, the care group provides a varied and broad portfolio of leadership within Health & Care Jersey.
Health & Care Jersey is the integrated health care component of the Government of Jersey public service and incorporates Ambulance, Adult Mental Health, Social care, Community inpatient services alongside public health, screening services and island wide division to incorporate the complex nature of Jersey’s health care provision that includes public and private entities.
To discuss any of these roles please contact:
Dr David Hopkins, Chief of Service Medical Services Care Group via
Claire Thompson, Chief Operating Officer Acute Services via
An informal visit to HCJ is strongly recommended and support with travel is available. Stakeholder session and formal interviews will take place on 8th October.
