We’re looking for a National Theatre Lead to join our dynamic and growing organisation. This is a full-time, home-based role with national travel required on average 2 to 3 days per week. You will play a pivotal leadership role, supporting in leading key clinical strategies, supporting and enhancing clinical services across all national sites, working closely with local theatre management and perioperative teams to shape a consistently safe, high-performing, and patient-focused environment.

Newmedica are one of the leading providers of NHS ophthalmology services in England, providing outpatients appointments, diagnostic testing and eye surgery. We care for thousands of NHS and private patients a year in our specialist eye clinics across the country.

We are thrilled to say that following an independently conducted survey of Newmedica colleagues to tell us what it’s like to work here, we have been certified as a Great Place to Work for the second year running. The feedback has directly contributed to Newmedica being listed among the UK’s top 50 Best Workplaces for 2025.

This is a complex and high-influence role, which requires a rare combination of strategic thinking, subject matter expertise, data informed insight and strong leadership. It includes system wide improvement and policy development, therefore, clinical leadership and direct engagement with our clinical teams and partners are a core part of the role. You will act as a national leader, mentor, and resource to local Theatre Leads and their teams, supporting quality enhancement and compliance. You will provide expert clinical insight and support colleagues across operational and governance roles to make informed, patient-centred decisions. Your responsibilities will include supporting with the design and evolution of clinical models and theatre pathways, incorporating national policy, research, and local feedback. You will act as a key contact within the support office, delivering support to colleagues across the business to deliver key projects which require clinical subject matter expertise and input. You will work closely with teams such as contracting, business development, procurement, and learning and development. You will be responsible for providing support and direct line management to two Theatre Advisors within the team, who are also responsible for providing specialist expertise in IPC and resuscitation which you will support on for effective delivery.

You will be a registered healthcare professional with HCPC or NMC registration with extensive experience within ophthalmic theatre, including clinical management. Experience in outpatient clinics within ophthalmology is desirable but not essential. Ideally, you will have experience in a subspeciality such as medical retina or oculoplastics and an MSc qualification in a relevant subject.

Proven experience in managing teams and delivering projects efficiently is essential, along with a strong background in clinical governance, policy development, and quality improvement. You’ll need to be confident in mentoring and coaching healthcare professionals, particularly in a theatre setting, and have a deep understanding of national healthcare standards and service-specific priorities. Proficiency in data analysis and evidence-based practices is key, as is the ability to inspire and motivate others through authentic leadership. Strong influencing, negotiating, and facilitation skills are important, as is the ability to make complex decisions and see the bigger picture when developing strategy. You must be comfortable working in partnership across teams and be willing to travel nationally.

Overall, we are looking for someone who, through skilled partnership working, credible clinical support and a compassionate approach, will build confidence, strengthen capability and drive meaningful, sustainable improvements to patient care. You will have a flexible approach and the ability to effectively adapt to the evolving dynamics within the organisation, while providing leadership to others.
