Chief Medical Officer
(CMO) - Primary Care
Te Whatu Ora - South
Canterbury
0.5FTE (Fixed term for 12
months)
Every moment matters - is not only our
vision; it is our commitment to enhance the health and independence of the
people of South Canterbury. We do things differently at Te Whatu Ora South
Canterbury, we believe extraordinary leadership can emerge from anywhere in our
workforce, and the best ideas tend to come from staff closest to our patients,
and from our patients themselves.
Our two CMOs are central to our joint strategic
leadership and medical leadership structures.
Our management structure is deliberately set up to bring a balance
between clinical/operational and strategic leadership. We are committed to truly distributive
clinical leadership, and a robust partnership between Primary Care &
Secondary Care Services.
The CMO - Primary Care role is pivotal in this, as it shapes
our region - s Primary Health Sector, facilitating a network of stakeholders who
actively contribute to policy development and improve service delivery to
better meet the health needs of our community.
The
CMO provides overarching medical leadership across the health sector,
excellence in medical practice and champions a high-trust, continuous learning
culture which includes developing open and productive relationships between
departments. As well as serving as the
bridge between clinicians and management the CMO must be comfortable with providing
mentorship, and supporting teams across clinical disciplines. Policy and guideline development is a minor
but vital part of the role. Although the
CMO position is not primarily a patient-facing one, extraordinary circumstances
occasionally require the CMO to step into a direct patient care role, so
current Medical Council registration and relevant clinical competencies are
favoured but not critical for the applicant.
We seek a practicing general practitioner who models our
leadership values of integrity, courage, compassion, health advocacy and collaboration.
It goes without saying that the CMO will be patient-focused and in
addition, have clinical and ethical standing amongst our local GPs/NPs and other
community-based health service/practices (such as pharmacies and other NGOs). Reporting to the interim District Director,
the role is central to supporting the Director Primary Health Partnerships, the
Primary Health Manager, and the primary care support team.
If you are interested in stepping into a CMO role, which
will be defined in large part, by the individual who chooses to step into this
position, please ring for an informal chat or register your interest online. ( Enquiries can be made to Human Resources in the first instance on 03 687 2230)
Please
Applications
are open (unless a suitable applicant is found earlier)
As part of our duty of care towards our patients, it is crucial that all patient-facing staff be fully immunised. If you have made it to the later stages of recruitment for a role that has vaccination requirements, you will be expected to produce your immunisation records for infection control purposes.
