As one of seven Local Health Boards in Wales, we are proud to deliver services within a context which has at its heart the unification and integration of care for the people of Wales. By providing primary, secondary, tertiary, community, mental health and learning disability, and dental services, SBUHB is committed to improving the lives of our 390,000 residents.  We are led by our values of ‘caring for each other, working together, always improving’ – values which we are proud were developed by more than 6,000 staff, patients, their families and carers.  With 12,500 staff and a turnover of around £1 billion, we are not just an anchor institution for the Neath Port Talbot and Swansea areas, but a significant regional partner across Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Neath Port Talbot and Swansea. 

We are on a journey of recovery and do not underestimate the complexity of what lies ahead.  As a Health Board in enhanced monitoring for planning and finance; and with scrutiny placed on planned and unscheduled care, there is much to do in order to realise the change needed to deliver safer services and improved outcomes to those we serve.  We are ambitious for change and committed to sustained improvement – our focus on quality and safety is resolute, demonstrated by our recently refreshed People Strategy which is aligned to our new 10-year Health Board vision to become a High Quality Organisation. 

We know that the people aspect is key and central to the successful delivery of our vision.  y prioritising the development of our culture in line with our values and supporting our staff within a culture of fairness, openness and learning we know we can achieve better outcomes for those we serve and play a central role in our city, our region, and across the NHS in Wales.

To this end, we are now seeking an inclusive, inspirational and dynamic Director of Workforce and Organisational Development to work closely with our new Chief Executive and wider Board to support the substantial programme of transformation we are currently embarking on. This is a pivotal role and one which will ensure the change that is needed is embedded at every level within the Health Board.  From establishing consistency and excellence across all facets of workforce practice to leading the Organisational Development required to realise the improvements we are striving for as a Health Board, this is an opportunity to bring about impactful, lasting change to an organisation guided by its values and committed to putting people at the heart of everything it does. 

This is a key appointment for SBUHB. With a professional qualification and grounding in best HR practice, the successful individual will also bring a track record of leading the OD portfolio and experience of supporting programmes of substantial transformation within a context of comparable complexity.  This is a role which will require the ability to operate at a strategic level to advise the Board on best practice, whilst being mindful of the real impact of change on a multi disciplined, dispersed workforce. A strategic, compassionate leader able to create the conditions for our talented and dispersed workforce to flourish and our performance to improve, above all else the appointed individual will evidence a relentless commitment to delivering better outcomes and ensuring Swansea Bay health Board is a great place to work.

If you have ambition that matches our own and a commitment to supporting and nurturing staff to realise sustainable improvement we are keen to hear from you.
