Job summary

Training Hub Programme Directors - 2 x 0.2 WTE

(2 x THPD posts. Each post is 0.2 WTE ie 2 sessions per week)

Thames Valley Primary Care Training Hub is recruiting to two Training Hub Programme Director (THPD) positions.

THPDs work with and support the Thames Valley Training Hub Associate Dean, Training Hub Lead, Head of Primary Care School & RegionalPrimary Care Dean in leading the delivery of a wide range of functions. Whilst both roles will have responsibilities across the whole of Thames Valley, one of the roles is likely also to focus on liaison with primary care colleagues in Buckinghamshire and the other with colleagues in Berkshire. Current experience working as a GP in these geographies would therefore be beneficial.

THPDs focus upon training capacity expansion, improving learner supervision and experience, and ensuring effective educational outcomes, both now and in the future. The role also focuses on whole workforce transformation and developing the multi-professional workforce within primary care both at practice and PCN/neighbourhood levels.

As part of the THPD role candidates will need to continue to be on the Performers List and remain active in clinical practice.

NB: Owing to current organisational change processes, both roles are being recruited on a fixed-term basis until 31 March 2027. We are hopeful that these posts will go on to become substantive following conclusion of current organisational change process.

The role of Training Hub Programme Director is to support the:

• Development of the primary care workforce through the promotion and continuing support for the Primary Care School and Training Hubs programmes and workstreams
• Transformation of general practice and primary care teams needed to deliver high-quality patient care with best practice, current regulations and service delivery models.

In delivering the role, THPDs will work closely with other multi-professional workforce colleagues. Whilst working within the Thames Valley Training Hub the postholder will also support the delivery of the Integrated Care Board's wider objectives, alongside neighbourhood and Primary Care Network workforce strategies.
