Are you looking to work for an industry leader?
Do you have knowledge and experience of the awarding or managing of NHS healthcare contracts?
This post represents an exciting opportunity for someone with knowledge and experience of the awarding or managing of NHS healthcare contracts. The role sits within the exciting Business Development team, which is charged with finding innovative ways of raising additional funding to secure the delivery of our Vision.
Last year, Dorothy House Hospice Care celebrated 40 years of delivering exceptional care to patients and their families. We were awarded 'Outstanding' by the CQC in 2017. In recent years we have expanded our services vastly, and the future development of our strategy will see us extend our care to more patients and their families.
The role will be accountable for leading and coordinating the clinical teams' delivery of contracts with Clinical Commissioning Groups and other commissioning/contract awarding bodies.
Your effective delivery in the role would see the coordination of reporting across contracts and teams, and ensure staff are aware of contract performance measures. The role will encompass leading on performance reviews of existing contracts, and supporting operational staff to improve contract delivery and understanding performance.
Key Duties:
* You will coordinate internal functions, to ensure that reporting timelines are met, and that data is reviewed before communication to the commissioning body.
* You will engage with external Commissioning teams, including negotiation to harmonise and simplify reporting where possible. Success will include ensuring that the maximum amount of reporting can be automated, and the amount of "manual handling" minimised.
* You will be adept at building relationships with teams and individuals, to ensure contract performance shortfalls are subject to agreed action plans, and that progress is tracked and reported.
* You will be required to review draft contracts and provide guidance on issues and changes. Where possible, negotiating with Commissioners to streamline / simplify reporting requirements.
* Good IT and data analysis skills are essential, however ongoing training can also be provided.
HOURS: 15 hours per week (flexible)
