Legal Services Manager - #65418

As the result of the current post holder being promoted the Legal Services team have an exciting opportunity to recruit into an established post, requiring a highly motivated candidate with the ability to work collaboratively, challenge current practice, and the ambition to help this organisation become outstanding for all aspects of patient safety and quality.

We are looking for an individual who has experience in managing personal injury litigation, clinical negligence litigation, coroner inquest and any other legal matter as they arise pertinent to the Trust. Working as one of two Legal Services managers, the post holder will work collaboratively within the team, and with the remainder of the central governance team.

The Legal Services Manager will manage the legal services function for the Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust dealing with clinical and non-clinical claims, working closely with NHS Resolution and with instructed solicitors/ barristers; liaising with HM Coroners and their officers in the management of inquests; dealing with the more complex police inquires; providing support and legal advice to staff; assisting in the drafting of documents for legal purposes; responding to other general and legal enquires; and providing regular information to relevant meetings and the executive team.

This is an exciting time for the Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust. We are on a digital transformation journey leading us to our brand new hospital.

We believe that our people are our greatest asset. That’s why we invest in continuous learning, career development, and personal growth. From nurses to administrators, everyone has a role to play in our success story.
