Do you have the influencing, project management and service development skills to lead our programme of work to improve the care offered across the UK to survivors and their families following hospital discharge?

We believe everyone who has survived a cardiac arrest should get the support they need to return to a quality of life that enables them to maintain choice and independence where possible.

Resuscitation Council UK is undertaking an important programme of work to improve the support provided to survivors of cardiac arrest. One of the first steps in this programme of work and a key deliverable for this postholder is to gather evidence to develop a Quality Standard. 

This role is ideally suited either to a registered healthcare professional with a background in rehabilitation, cardiac rehabilitation or another related speciality or to an experienced healthcare manager with experience of developing healthcare services. You may already have an expert knowledge of the services offered to those who have had a cardiac arrest or the skills to develop that understanding quickly.

We are looking for a strong team player, who is used to working with multi-disciplinary teams and who understands the importance of working with stakeholders to work across the four nations to embed practice, and plan and implement a programme of change.

On a day-to-day basis, you will work with clinical colleagues and our engagement and influencing team to lead the programme of work in a joined-up way. You will also keep the Community, Ambulance and Resuscitation (CARe) Subcommittee updated with the work. You will care about inclusivity and ensure that this underpins the work.

Where this role sits

This role, which is new to the organisation, will sit within the Clinical and Service Development Department. The postholder will report directly to the Director of Clinical and Service Development.

We always seek to balance business needs with a flexible approach to working styles and preferences. We have a strong commitment to inclusion and diversity and will provide reasonable adjustments internally and support Access to Work applications if you require this.

Work can be undertaken at home or in the office (Tavistock House, London), at the successful applicant's choice. Some travel to the office or other locations will be required as part of the role, but reasonable adjustments, such as enabling the postholder’s participation through digital technology, will be made for the successful applicant where this is required. If you would like to make an Access to Work application for a grant to pay for support tailored to your individual needs, such as a support worker, adaptations to the equipment you use, special equipment, taxi fares to and from work if public transport is not accessible to you, we will support you in this process.
