National Health Service

• 70% of our business in 2009/2010 was repeat business – we work in partnership with Client and Interim Managers alike.
• Ability to provide Interim Managers to a diverse portfolio of Clients including primary, secondary (including mental health, social care etc) and tertiary care as well as the Department of Health.

Randstad Interim Executives Health Service Professionals Practice works in partnership with Clients to ensure 'Fit for Purpose' interim managers are quickly introduced to your departments and teams. Interim Managers are increasingly being used given the UK Healthcare Reformed as a way of introducing commercial and expert healthcare knowledge into Trusts and organisations facing extensive change. Our dedicated team has an acute understanding of the NHS and new initiatives driving change.

Areas covered include:

• GP Consortia, strategy, design and project management
• Commercialisation and competition
• Commissioning & Contracting (up to Director level)
• Finance & Auditing
• Managing Director
• Provider Services (including ICO, Integrated Care Organisations)
• Operational Management
• Procurement / Bids / Logistics
• Contract & Commercial Management
• Clinical Services Redesign / Service Delivery
• Clinical Risk & Governance
• Performance Management / Improvement
• Human Resources
• Mental Health
• Social Care/Local Authorities
• Project, Programme & Programme Office Management
• Estates / Facilities / Engineering
• Communications / Marketing
• IT Management
• Customer Services / Call Centre
• LIFT/PFI

Interim Managers can be quickly introduced to provide leadership and operational expertise where: NHS Trusts/Organisations do not inherently hold the relevant expertise/competencies in-house (particularly with the implementation of new initiatives); a project is short term and there is no need for a permanent appointment; or where existing staff are already working to capacity and additional help is required to deliver business objectives on time.

Randstad Interim Executives has long-term relationships with the majority of its interim managers with experience in the NHS, many of whom have worked on at least two successful assignments via Randstad interim Executives previously. All undergo the same robust background screening procedure, which includes face-to-face interviews, background screening, employment verification checks and thorough reference checks. The success of our selection process can be gauged by the amount of repeat business we receive; last year this amounted to over 70% of our portfolio.
