Job responsibilities

The successful candidate will be offered the opportunity to work across all areas.

Childrens Emergency Department (ED)

Childrens ED is a busy department who currently see large volumes of children every year in an area specifically dedicated to children. Children who are attending with urgent care complaints are streamed straight to this area.

The Childrens Decision Area sees children referred from GPs, children with direct access and children sent from ED requiring a further assessment. The short stay area is for children who require a prolonged period of observation but who are unlikely to need a full admission to hospital, this could include fluid challenges, spacing of inhalers and review by other specialities.

Ward 30 (Childrens Inpatient Unit)

Ward 30 is a Childrens Inpatient Unit that was purpose built in 2016. The unit includes 35 inpatient beds and a two-bedded stabilisation area. The ward has an adolescent room, school room, play room, and an accessible bathroom. Each bed space also has state of the art bedside monitoring.

Capacity ring-fencing: Scope options for ring-fenced weekend and out-of-hours theatre, outpatient and recovery bed capacity at both sites, seeking Executive approval to formally designate this as private capacity.

Operational readiness: Coordinate estates, digital, workforce, procurement and clinical governance inputs to ensure facilities, systems and staff are ready for go-live, including mobilisation of a Walsall private patient offer where no current infrastructure or team exists.

Standard operating procedures: Ensure SOPs, escalation routes, consent and information governance arrangements are in place for private patient activity.

4. Programme Delivery, Governance and Assurance

Programme plan: Maintain a detailed, costed programme plan with milestones, dependencies and resource allocation, update and reforecast regularly.

Governance: Chair or represent the work stream at governance forums, provide timely highlight reports, exception reporting and evidence-based briefings to the Transformation Programme Director, the Private Patient Steering Group and senior stakeholders.

Data integrity and audit: Work with Informatics to resolve the risk of mis-flagged or double-charged private activity arising from the EPR (Blueprint) transition, prioritising correction of the process on a forward-looking basis.

Regulatory reporting compliance: Build an explicit governance requirement for PHIN (Private Healthcare Information Network) and statutory finance reporting compliance into the administrative process design.

Stakeholder management: Build and sustain relationships with clinical leads, divisional teams, consultants, insurers, primary care and external referrers to secure buy-in and referral pipelines.

External benchmarking: Lead benchmarking activity against comparable providers with an established, well-functioning private patient model (prioritising comparable District General Hospital-type trusts over central London comparators), and commission market opportunity analysis to test demand in complex/high-value specialties.

Communications: Work with Communications and Digital teams to develop patient-facing materials, web presence and targeted marketing to support private patient uptake.

Business development: Identify and prioritise new commercial opportunities, service lines and partnerships to grow private income across the Group, including formal proposals for third-party use of theatre/facility space where relevant.

7. People Leadership and Capability Building

Administrative resourcing: Address the current shortfall in dedicated private patient administrative capacity, including assessing options to redeploy administrative capacity released by the AVT programme.

Equitable access to enhanced pay: Work with HR to confirm and apply a consistent policy on equal-opportunity access to enhanced private-work pay rates for staff delivering private sessions outside core hours.

Capability building: Develop team capability in programme delivery, commercial contracting, billing, overseas visitor charging and performance management.

Workforce planning: Coordinate recruitment and workforce planning for roles required to operate and sustain private patient services.

8. Integration with NHS Services and System Partners

System working: Engage with ICB, local authority and system partners to ensure private patient activity complements system priorities and does not adversely affect equitable access to NHS care.

ICS and regional liaison: Represent the Group at regional or national forums as required, sharing learning and ensuring compliance with wider system expectations.

9. Continuous Improvement and Strategic Development

Horizon scanning: Monitor national policy, regulatory changes and market developments relevant to private healthcare and commercial opportunities.
