Lead quality. Strengthen governance. Shape the future of healthcare in the North East of Scotland.

This is a rare opportunity to help write the next chapter of one of the North East of Scotland's district general hospitals.

Dr Gray's Hospital sits at the heart of healthcare delivery for Moray and provides vital services to more than 130,000 people. We are investing in our future, strengthening our clinical governance arrangements and redesigning services to meet the needs of the next generation.

We are looking for a respected clinician and visible leader to join our Hospital Leadership Team as Hospital Medical Director.

This is not a traditional medical management role.

We are seeking someone who will provide strong clinical leadership, set high standards for quality and safety, build confidence across the organisation and help shape a sustainable future for services at Dr Gray's Hospital.

Working alongside a newly appointed Hospital General Manager and Chief Nurse, you will play a pivotal role in:

• Strengthening clinical governance and assurance.
• Leading quality and safety improvement.
• Supporting and developing the medical workforce.
• Influencing the future model of care for Moray.
• Working across hospital, community and regional boundaries.
• Helping create an outstanding place to receive care and to work.

For the right individual, this represents a unique chance to leave a lasting legacy.

Not only will you influence the future of Dr Gray's Hospital, you will live and work in one of Scotland's most spectacular regions, with immediate access to the Moray Coast, Cairngorm National Park, world-renowned outdoor recreation and an exceptional quality of life.

If you are motivated by challenge, improvement and making a genuine difference, we would love to hear from you.
