The Role
As Director of Patient Services and part of our Executive Leadership Team, you will play a major role in shaping the strategic development and future direction of the organisation. Responsible for the development, management and implementation of our patient and carer support programmes, you will be an experienced inspirational and strategic leader with a professional track record of delivering services and managing the operation of customer service teams. High level strategic, analytical, and creative thinking is key, as is, excellent communication and interpersonal skills. You will also be someone able to demonstrate empathy to the needs and preferences of cancer patients and their families and care deeply about the people we serve. The prevalence of myeloma is higher in some ethnic groups, you will therefore, bring a strong commitment to addressing healthcare inequalities and driving equal access to treatment.
