Medical Director

As Divisional Medical Director, you will share accountability for all aspects of the Diggory Division alongside the Managing Director and Director of Nursing. You will provide strong, compassionate clinical leadership, helping to shape the strategy, culture, and future direction ofmental health services within the Directorate.

You will be central to our transformation journey, ensuring clinical quality, developing the next generation of clinical leaders, and embedding research and innovation across services. You will represent CNWL in key system forums, influence regional strategy, and champion the delivery of high-quality, inclusive care., The postholder will be based in London but will be expected to maintain a regular and visible presence across the full geographical footprint of Diggory Division, including services in Milton Keynes and Surrey. This is a fundamental requirement of the role, ensuring accessible clinical leadership, effective engagement with staff and service users, and strong relationships with local partners. The postholder must therefore be willing and able to travel regularly between sites as required.

CNWL (Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust) is one of the largest and most diverse community and mental health Trusts in the country. We have received a rating of "good" from the CQC; we care for people across the life course, from preconception through to the end of life. We have a wide range of outstanding partners and work across vibrant and expansive geography.

Our Trust is structured into three Operational Divisions, working alongside centralised corporate support services. Each Division is made up of borough teams and cross-boundary specialised Directorates. Each Division is managed by a team of three - a Managing Director, Director of Nursing and a Medical Director. These three report, respectively, to the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Nurse and the Chief Medical Officer.

The Divisional teams work closely, along with their Borough and Service line leaders, with the local authority, public health, PCNs and other statutory and non-statutory partners.

We operate across two Integrated Care Systems (ICSs): West North London (WNL) and Central East.
