Change Management jobs in United Kingdom

Go back University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust

The closing date is 29 December 2025

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the department of Internal and General Medicine at UHL

The appointment will be whole time. Any Consultant who is unable for personal reasons, to work whole time, will be eligible to be considered for the post. If such a person is appointed, modification of the job content will be discussed on a personal basis in consultation with Consultant colleagues.

Your normal place of work will be as discussed at interview and will be confirmed in Section 1 of your contract but you may be required to work in other locations of the Trust. In particular, flexibility is required across the three main Hospital sites (Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leicester General Hospital, Glenfield Hospital). If your initial location is based at one of these sites, excess travel reimbursement will not apply for a permanent/temporary change to base.

The overriding purpose is to support the provision of highest quality patient care through personal actions and continuous improvement.

To provide senior clinical decision making on a GIM Ward designed for patients not appropriate for immediate discharge or transfer. This will include consultant ward rounds & board rounds.

To lead on the implementation processes on the ward along with other systems to ensure appropriate and safe clinical care on the ward.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023‑2030).

We have four primary goals:

• high‑quality care for all
• being a great place to work
• partnerships for impact
• research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate
• we are proud
• we are inclusive
• we are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
