Overview
The Clinical Delivery Manager plays an important role in making sure Psychiatry UK's clinical services run safely, smoothly, and effectively. Working closely with Clinical Leads, Pathway Delivery Leads, and wider operational teams, you'll help keep services performing well, plan and manage clinical capacity, support governance processes, and drive ongoing improvements across the patient journey. This role is all about helping teams deliver high‑quality care that meets service standards and regulatory requirements. You'll use your analytical skills to understand what's working (and what's not), communicate clearly with a wide range of clinical colleagues, and bring people together to solve problems and improve how services are delivered—while always working within appropriate professional boundaries. This is a home‑based role (applicants must reside in the UK), though occasional travel may be required for face‑to‑face meetings at various locations within the UK.
Responsibilities
- Monitor and report on clinical workforce activity, including forecasting appointment volumes, tracking hours delivered, and supporting capacity planning across the service.
- Coordinate the introduction of new models of care, ensuring operational readiness and effective communication across relevant teams.
- Track clinician performance metrics at a service level (quality, timeliness, volume, patient experience) and work with Clinical Leads to identify trends, risks, or areas requiring escalation.
- Support the maintenance and review of the Clinical Risk Register, Audit Register, and associated remediation plans, ensuring actions are documented and progressed.
- Coordinate the rollout of clinical policies and processes to the contractor workforce and monitor adoption, escalating compliance risks through the appropriate governance channels.
- Support complex complaints, escalations, and incidents by collating information, contributing to investigations, and ensuring timely communication with relevant stakeholders.
- Maintain effective communication channels with the clinical workforce, sharing updates, insights, and changes to pathways or processes.
- Collate, analyse, and present operational and clinical performance data to support decision‑making and service improvement.
- Manage personal workload effectively, prioritising tasks in response to changing needs and emerging issues.
- Participate in regular supervision with the Deputy Medical Director and in the PUK performance development process to support ongoing professional development.
- Complete all mandatory training, including information governance, safeguarding, and health and safety, and engage in additional training relevant to the role.
- Contribute to wider service development initiatives, operational improvement projects, and transformation workstreams as required.
