Are you an experienced operational leader looking for your next challenge? We have an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and forward-thinking Centre Manager to join our Trauma & Specialist Surgery Centre on a 12-month fixed-term maternity cover.

Working as part of an experienced triumvirate, you will provide strategic and operational leadership across a diverse portfolio of services, driving operational performance, service transformation and continuous improvement. You’ll work closely with Clinical Directors, Matrons and multidisciplinary teams to deliver safe, high-quality, patient-centred care while achieving key national and local performance standards.

Our Poppy’s Promise Commitment

We believe that compassionate care sits at the heart of everything we do. Every member of our team — clinical or non-clinical — plays a vital role in ensuring that patients, families, and colleagues are treated with dignity, empathy, and respect at all times.

We expect all staff to demonstrate compassion not only through their words, but through their actions: by listening attentively, communicating clearly and kindly, and recognising individual needs, feelings, and circumstances of those in our care.

Effective communication is central to safe and high-quality healthcare. We value colleagues who take the time to understand others, explain information in a meaningful way, and respond to concerns with patience and understanding.

By joining our team, you are committing to uphold these values — ensuring that every patient feels heard, respected, and valued, and that compassion is embedded in every interaction, every day.
