Support Manager - Pathway Development

Overview

NHSGGC is one of the largest healthcare systems in the United Kingdom, employing approximately 40,000 staff across a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health services to a population of over 1.15 million people, and to a wider population of 2.2 million when regional and national services are included.

NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde is proud to be one of the UK's largest healthcare systems. Right now, we're embarking on one of Scotland's most ambitious change programmes. Guided by our aim for Better Health, Better Care, Better Value, and a Better Workplace, we're reimagining how urgent care is delivered for our communities.

At the heart of this transformation is our newly established Interface Care Division. This exciting division has been created to drive bold innovation, strengthen integration between primary and secondary care, and put patients firmly at the centre of everything we do.

Over the next three years, the division will lead a series of ground-breaking developments. These include our pioneering FNC+Plus care model, the launch of one of the UK's largest Virtual Hospital with 1,000 virtual beds and clinics, the introduction of Electronic Triage at our hospital front doors, and the creation of Rapid Assessment & Care (RAaC) units to ensure patients receive timely and seamless support.

This is about more than improving services it's about transforming the way care is experienced. By shifting the balance of care closer to home, enhancing patient pathways, and reducing delays, we will ensure people receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

Now is the perfect time to join us. Be part of a forward-thinking, values driven team that is shaping the future of urgent care across Greater Glasgow & Clyde and help us build a healthier, more connected system for all.
