The NHS is facing significant challenges nationally, with continued long waits in emergency departments, and for outpatient appointments, diagnostics and surgery, in an increasingly financially constrained environment.

However, there are also huge opportunities to do things differently:

through redesigning pathways of care, effective utilisation of technology, and closer collaboration with our local and regional partners, we could transform how we deliver care.

Main duties of the job

To address these challenges and opportunities, we will need to make some significant changes to how we deliver care.

The Associate Director of Strategy, Transformation and Projects is being introduced in Division D in this context, to ensure that our teams have the capacity and support to drive the ambitious level of change required.

Division D is responsible for Neurosciences, EPOV (Ear, Nose and Throat, Head & Neck, Plastics, Oral/Maxillofacial, Vascular Surgery) and CDG-MODEL (Cardiology, Dermatology, Medical Genetics, Metabolic Medicine, Obesity, Diabetes/Endocrinology and Lipids).

Our division delivers around half of the outpatient activity and a third of the surgical activity across the hospital and runs 13 wards.


The Associate Director of Strategy, Transformation and Projects will work alongside divisional colleagues in addition to working collaboratively with corporate team leaders across Strategy, Major Projects, Improvement and Transformation, the Operational Programme Delivery Team and Finance.

Under the direction of the Triumvirate this role is expected to lead, support and manage the delivery of complex programmes of work including strategy and analysis, efficiency and productivity, business planning, investment cases, major project business case development, programme initiation and delivery, system and regional engagement to deliver on the latest NHSEI Guidance/NHS LTP for integrated care.
