Job Summary
Children and Family Health Devon (CFHD) is continuing to develop and refine an innovative, integrated model of children’s community services and are looking for an enthusiastic individual to operationally lead our Speech and Language and Communication pathway with a focus on early intervention and support.
This role is 22.5 hrs a week (0.6 WTE) across Devon and Torbay (excluding Plymouth) with bases available in Exeter, North & South Devon and Torbay. You will want to be on site with your team for part of the time, but we can support remote working as part of your job plan.
Roles and Responsibilities
Working in collaboration with the Professional and clinical lead for the service, you will bring your operational and clinical skills, experience and enthusiasm to this role. You will supervise and manage others, ensuring the service responds in a timely way to meet the needs of children, young people and families. As joint lead for this pathway you will work closely with colleagues in CFHD and with colleagues from the acute trusts across Devon and Torbay who medically support the children seen within the pathway.
We are looking for an individual who enjoys operational management, who likes to collaborate and work with others, who has skills in leadership and can remain calm and compassionate under pressure. A keen eye for data and a focus on performance is on the wish list, along with the ability to bring innovation to the table. We value people who can work well as part of a team but also have the confidence and ability to be autonomous and pace‑setting when required.
This is an exciting time as we are a service going through a process of development and growth, so you need to have experience in leading services through change and keeping our children and young people at the centre of what you do.
Qualifications and Experience
- Provide leadership to the integrated CFHD service ensuring the efficient and effective delivery of the service.
- Manage effective operational delivery of services in collaboration with clinical leads.
- As an integral part of the CFHD leadership team, proactively and collaboratively drive the overall service strategy, objectives, vision and ambitions and take a lead role in transformational change and continuous service improvement.
