Lead clinical strategy. Shape our next chapter.
Building on 30 years of GP-led care, SELDOC is seeking an experienced Medical Director to shape our clinical direction and support the development of our services.
Reporting to the Chief Executive, you will join our Executive Leadership Team and Board, with overall responsibility for clinical safety and effectiveness across the SELDOC Group.
As Medical Director, you will give equal focus to clinical governance and external engagement: ensuring safe, effective care while building relationships with competitors, GP federations and other providers to raise SELDOC Group’s profile, develop partnerships and create opportunities for new services.
You will bring clinical judgement to strategic decisions, helping identify opportunities, develop services and build partnerships that improve patient care and support sustainable growth. Leading the Clinical Governance and Quality team, you will ensure effective oversight and provide the Board with clear assurance on quality, performance and risk.
Your role:
- Shape clinical strategy: Work with executive colleagues to deliver the Group’s growth and development strategy, ensuring clinical quality informs business decisions.
- Develop services and partnerships: Work with commissioners, NHS trusts and community partners to review care pathways, develop services and identify opportunities across the healthcare market.
- Support business development: Provide clinical leadership for tender submissions, presentations and the design of safe, effective and commercially sustainable services.
- Lead clinical assurance: Set expectations for governance and improvement, using outcomes, patient feedback, audit and performance data to guide priorities and assure the Board.
- Develop clinical capability: Lead the Clinical Governance and Quality team and influence workforce planning, clinician engagement, recruitment, retention and professional development.
You will retain oversight of clinical policies, safeguarding, information governance, medicines and equipment, including the designated responsibilities in the job description. You will also join the Director’s on-call rota, currently approximately one in four.
A little bit about you
You are a practising GP and experienced Medical Director with a strong understanding of urgent care and the governance that underpins safe, appropriate and timely services. You enjoy the pace of Urgent Treatment Centres and understand their contribution to patient flow and four-hour Emergency Department performance.
You combine clinical credibility with strategic thinking and commercial awareness. You are motivated by developing better care within a sustainable business that benefits patients, colleagues and wider stakeholders.
You work well in a small, supportive Executive Team where accountabilities are clear and challenges are addressed together. Approachable and collaborative, you lead by example, take responsibility and bring a low-ego approach to decisions and relationships.
You must hold a primary medical qualification and a relevant postgraduate qualification, have at least five years’ clinical service, and hold GMC registration and Medical Performers List inclusion, both without restrictions. Your experience will include urgent care and UTC management and clinical delivery, quality improvement, multidisciplinary leadership and organisational change.
