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 a blended role within the NHS England-hosted Digitising Social Care programme team and embedded in the Department's Adult Social Care Strategy and Reform team.

Our work plays a crucial role in demonstrating the benefits of a digitally-enabled and joined-up health and social care system, with social care as an equal partner.

We bring together a blended team of policy, strategy, programme and commercial professionals to achieve transformational change for people drawing on care, health and care professionals and the wider system including the NHS, care providers and local authorities.

Bring commercial awareness to shape policy approaches that generate more innovative approaches.
Take a proactive role in shaping the ongoing development of the team's culture and approach to open policymaking and delivery, through supporting effective agile working, knowledge sharing and communication activities to raise the profile and maximise the impact of our work.
Champion the voices of people, families and professionals in developing policy and strategy approaches
Demonstrated experience in leading policy, project or programme teams to deliver outcomes.
Experience working on transformation projects, preferably digital.
Experience and enthusiasm for working in an open and collaborative way with internal and external colleagues to draw on a range of perspectives.
Skilled and influential when developing and maintaining relationships with stakeholders, listening to their views and finding ways to incorporate their ideas or respond to challenges.
Ability to selfsolve, maintain motivation and create clarity when working in ambiguous and fastpaced policy environments.
Confidence working with senior leaders and stakeholders, including providing verbal briefings and representing the department externally.
Outstanding written and verbal communication, using the most appropriate means to present information to a wide variety of audiences.
Knowledge and demonstrable experience of prioritising your own work and that of others, often with conflicting deadlines.
Ability to oversee and deliver a highquality service independently and when supporting more junior colleagues.
