This is an exciting time to work in strategy at CUH - we are a dynamic organisation with strong ambitions for our local, regional and national role in delivering healthcare, research and education.


Locally, we are investing in our integrated care system, and exploring how we can redesign pathways of care to deliver more preventative care, in partnership with community and primary care.

Regionally, we are leading work to develop specialised services across the region and building new regional Children's and Cancer hospitals.

Nationally, we are the largest centre of health science and medical research in Europe, and are ambitious about developing cross-industry partnerships, fostering innovation and research which can improve outcomes for our patients.


Our team members have a wide range of skills and backgrounds - from operational management to management consultancy to central government policy - and our culture is one which strongly prioritises personal development.

We work flexibly, in a matrix style, to maximise opportunities for team members to get experience in areas they are interested in, within strategy and beyond.

Main duties of the job

The Strategy and Major Projects team leads on cross-cutting, medium
