As one of two Operational Managers, you will lead the day-to-day delivery of a safe, reliable and high-quality Infection Sciences service, based at Basingstoke with an Essential Services Laboratory at Winchester. The service comprises bacteriology, molecular testing, serology, Containment level 3 working, mycology, and supports point-of-care testing (POCT). Working with the Department Manager, Clinical Leads and laboratory teams, you will support staff, coordinate resources and drive continuous improvement to meet patient and service-user needs. You will work within delegated authority and professional competence, deputising for the Department Manager on agreed operational matters and escalating issues beyond your remit.
You will lead and support staff, coordinate workforce and resources, oversee service performance and help ensure effective management of workload, turnaround times and service pressures. You will have key responsibilities for quality management and UKAS accreditation readiness, patient safety, risk, business continuity, equipment and laboratory information systems.
The role also includes staff management and development, budget and resource management, service improvement and project delivery, including the introduction of new methods, technologies and changes to laboratory services. You will work collaboratively with clinical, scientific, quality, IT, Estates, Procurement and external partners to resolve operational issues and continually improve services for patients and users.
Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of what we do at our three sites: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and Andover War Memorial Hospital. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire.
Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.
We provide specialist services to people across the UK and internationally. We are one of only two centres in the UK treating pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare form of abdominal cancer) and we are leaders in the field of tertiary liver cancer and colorectal cancer.
The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors. The Council of Governors represent the interests of their constituencies and influence the future plans of the Foundation Trust.
