Dual Workforce Efficiencies Lead

The Cornwall system has recognised the requirements for us to establish a substantive Dual Workforce Efficiencies team, working to support both CFT and RCHT with current and future workforce challenges.

This team may also interface with the ICB to support system-wide changes which have workforce implications.

Workforce Efficiencies is a service area within the HR & OD function within Cornwall Foundation Trust(CFT) and the POD function within Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust (RCHT).

It is a dually contracted team in place to drive workforce efficiencies and innovative solutions to new ways of working across thehealth and care community within Cornwall and IOS.

The Dual Workforce Efficiencies Lead will be responsible for the operational running and delivery of work streams within workforce efficiencies. Providing leadership and management of the work, team, processes & policies, systems, associated SLAs & KPIs. As well as the delivery of identified schemes, saving and agreed financial targets, linked to improvement plans, including cost reduction, productivity gain and quality improvement across Trusts and the health and care system.

The Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust (RCHT) is the main provider of acute and specialist care services in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We serve a population of around 500,000 people - a figure that can increase significantly with

visitors during the busiest times of the year. We employ approximately 6,700 staff and have a budget of approximately £580 million.

We are a teaching hospital in partnership with the University of Exeter Medical School, University of Plymouth School of Nursing and Midwifery, and Peninsula Dental School.

The Knowledge Spa on the Royal Cornwall Hospital site is the base for medical and nursing as well as ongoing education for health professions in clinical and non-clinical roles.

Keeping at the forefront of medical advances, we are continually developing our clinical services as well as our facilities and are committed to maximising the range of specialist care that can be offered locally. Allied to this is a growing reputation for research and innovation.
