Job summary:


In DHSC, we are proud of our purpose - to enable everyone to live more independent, healthier lives for longer.

To achieve this, and create a great place to work, we have four values:
we are inclusive, we constantly improve, we challenge, and we are agile. If this sounds like an environment you'd like to work in, we'd love to hear from you.

This is an opportunity to fill a stretching role in one of the Department's top priority areas.

Good quality, flexible and resilient infrastructure is crucial to delivering a health and care system that is fit for the demands of the future and is key to unlocking the productivity targets set out in the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan.

DHSC invests roughly £12bn a year in capital projects that transform services across the whole system - from building and upgrading hospitals, to investing in health protection infrastructure and supported housing to help people live independently for longer.


The Capital Directorate plays a crucial role throughout the life of capital investment - from setting the overall direction across the system through delivery of a national Capital Strategy, to negotiating with HMT for funding settlements and driving efficient use of capital budgets across NHS and non-NHS systems.


Job description:

The Capital Strategy team is central part of the Infrastructure Strategy & Capital Funding branch.

Its primary role is to ensure that the Department sets a long-term infrastructure vision for the health and care system, and that the NHS and wider health and care partners secure funding settlements to deliver high quality infrastructure for the current and future needs of our population.


This role will play a crucial part in the delivery of the Department's Long-Term Capital Strategy to set a clear vision for how investment in health and care infrastructure will enable the delivery of a health and care system fit for the future demands of our population.

This will involve working closely with NHS England and across government to develop a clear understanding of future health and care infrastructure need, and utilising this to inform the development of a Long-Term Capital Strategy.


Following confirmation of the Department's Spending Review settlement, the post holder will work closely with policy/delivery teams, central and strategic finance to support the effective delivery of the Department's capital settlement through identification of risks and opportunities.

They will provide critical advice to make best use of available capital to deliver on Ministerial priorities and wider government commitments.


Person specification:


Role responsibilities:


  • Lead strategic development of the Department's preparations for the next Capital Spending Review bid and the first of the rolling programmes of investment in NHS infrastructure. They will work closely with policy teams, NHS England and think tanks to provide a robust evidence base and case for the investment required to deliver the Department's longterm vision for health and care infrastructure.
  • Support the development and publication of the Department's longterm Capital Strategy to ensure the national vision for health and care infrastructure is reflected to local health and care systems and enables the delivery of a health and care estate necessary to deliver on the needs of our current and future populations.
  • Confidently and strategically communicate NHS and nonNHS infrastructure requirements and the impact of highquality health and care infrastructure to key government stakeholders including the Treasury and No 10 and agree a Spending Review settlement that prioritises health and care infrastructure and enables delivery of crossgovernment priorities.
  • Work closely with senior officials in the Department and Treasury to agree longterm, rolling programmes of investment in NHS infrastructure.
  • Work closely with policy teams and central and strategic finance to ensure efficient implementation of the Department's capital settlement following the next S
