Saving lives, saving NHS money and transforming services for patients - that's our mission at the East Midlands Academic Health Science Network (EMAHSN).

We are seeking a Senior Innovation and Improvement Projects Lead to join our innovation and improvement teams to play a key role in making sure citizens throughout the East Midlands, and beyond, have the opportunity to benefit from our portfolio of innovations.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work across the East Midlands with colleagues across the AHSN Network, contributing to national and local programmes designed to enable improvements in clinical outcomes, deliver better patient experiences, contribute to driving down the cost of care and stimulate economic growth.

This role is offered as a fixed term contract or secondment opportunity for two years. We currently take a hybrid working approach with our office based at the University of Nottingham Innovation Park. Occasional travel within the East Midlands may be required.

The provisional date for interview is 25th May 2023.

Main duties of the job

In addition to the below summary you need to familiarise yourself with full job description and person specification documents attached to this advert.

We are seeking enthusiastic team players to help take us to the next level.

You will be passionate about the NHS and determined to make your mark - challenging the status quo, developing contacts across the region's health and care system, networking, collaborating and taking responsibility for influencing positive change.

You will be a strategic thinker who understands the health and care system priorities, challenges and opportunities for change and innovation.

You will understand system levers and be prepared to support system partners to overcome barriers to progress the adoption of innovation that will both transform care delivery and outcomes.

You will be an excellent communicator; a problem solver able to influence and build advocacy across organisations and sectors, with patients at the very heart of everything you do.

Working for our organisation

We are one of 15 Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs) around England that operate as the innovation arm of the NHS.

We bring together partners from all sectors involved in health and care including the NHS, social care and public health, patients, research, third sector and industry - to identify, test and spread new technologies and better ways of working.

We save the NHS money, generate economic growth, empower health and care staff, and improve lives of patients. We work closely with our health and care stakeholders to establish their priorities and then provide support.

As part of a national network of AHSNs, we import evidenced solutions from other AHSN regions and export our successful East Midlands programmes nationally.

We have a range of objectives, but our overarching aim is always to make a difference for patients.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

These roles focus on:

Delivering a programme of real-world evaluation projects that generate evidence of impact for new innovations - MedTech devices, digital and AI solutions and service models.

Driving adoption of new, high impact technologies identified nationally by the NHS for priority spread across England.

Supporting the redesign of NHS pathways, leveraging the power of innovation to transform the patient journey.

Supporting and undertaking testing and scale-up activities across a range of care settings demonstrating measurable and incremental change towards achieving programme aims.

Actively supporting learning, innovation, improvement culture, capability building, leadership development and patient involvement.
