Cancer Performance Manager

Cancer Performance Manager
Band 8A | Cancer Services – Cancer Performance | Ashgrove House, Foresterhill

This is an exciting opportunity to join NHS Grampian as Cancer Performance Manager and take on a key leadership role at the heart of cancer pathway delivery and improvement. You will lead the Cancer Performance Team, helping clinical and operational services turn complex pathway information into practical action that improves tracking, escalation, performance and patient flow.

The role offers a varied portfolio and the opportunity to build broad experience across cancer services, diagnostics, operational management and service transformation. You will work alongside clinical teams, operational managers, analysts and innovation colleagues to explore new ideas and develop improved approaches to the delivery of cancer pathways and diagnostic services.

As part of the Acute Sector team, you will gain experience of working across organisational and professional boundaries, influencing senior stakeholders and contributing to decisions on performance recovery, demand and capacity, pathway redesign, workforce, investment and the implementation of the Framework for Effective Cancer Management.

The post also provides the opportunity to collaborate beyond NHS Grampian through regional and national cancer networks, including the National Cancer Managers Forum. This will allow you to contribute to shared learning, help shape improvement approaches and bring ideas and good practice back into local cancer services.

We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic senior manager who enjoys working with people, data and new ideas. You will bring highly developed knowledge of healthcare performance, service improvement and organisational change, together with the confidence to provide constructive challenge, build strong relationships and turn national requirements into practical local delivery.

Applicants should be educated to Master's level in a relevant subject, or demonstrate equivalent knowledge, training and senior management experience. Experience of cancer waiting times and cancer pathways is desirable, but we also welcome applicants with strong transferable experience in complex healthcare performance, improvement or operational management.
