As Operations Manager Surgery, you will lead a large and complex outpatient clinic with multiple sub-specialties within surgery, where dynamics and change converge daily. You will operate in an environment in which various themes such as focus care, new construction in Lelystad, and the optimization of outpatient care play an important role, and where you continuously balance between operational management and tactical/strategic issues.

Together, you form a strong and committed group of professionals dedicated to high-quality patient care. You are visibly present at our locations in Harderwijk and Lelystad and ensure clear communication, structure, overview, and a well-organized working environment. At the same time, you look ahead: you oversee the long-term impact of choices and know how to translate these into today's practice.

In this role, you switch effortlessly between different levels. You communicate and collaborate with medical specialists, management, department managers, and employees on the shop floor. You know when to direct, when to connect, and when to give space. You are someone who stands firm in your shoes and has a clear opinion.

You stimulate your employees to do their work with professionalism, ownership, and commitment. You have an eye for development and know how to take teams along in change without losing sight of the daily work.

You work closely with the medical specialists within the surgical chain and report to the care manager (within the surgical cluster). As a sparring partner, you provide requested and unrequested advice at operational and tactical levels. You signal opportunities for improvement, create momentum, and ensure that plans are actually realized.

Together with other operations managers within St Jansdal, you form a professional network. Together, you work on future-proof care and actively contribute to hospital-wide developments.

You are a leader who feels comfortable in a dynamic healthcare environment and gets energy from a department where a lot is happening. You know how to provide direction, but also have an eye for the people you work with. You switch easily between daily practice and issues playing out in the long term.
