The post has three important areas of responsibility.
- The first area is supporting the delivery of strategic planning exercises across CfSD, coupled with providing update reports of progress against plan and escalating areas where the organisation is not on track.
- The second area of focus is on developing and deploying a value and impact framework. This means working collaboratively with colleagues across CfSD to consider how we determine value as a result of our work. It also means taking ownership of deployment of the framework and utilising smart mechanisms to consider types of benefits, set targets and work with teams to track targets. As a Centre it is important to be value focused and articulate this through the work that we do.

The role will be required to work with team members and Directors to generate reports which highlight achievement, priorities, risks and issues in order to provide assurance.

You should exhibit a demonstrable understanding of the NHS; an in depth understanding of programme/project management and improvement methodologies, experience in strategic planning processes and a strong understanding of benefits realisation and measurement strategies. The ability to work within a highly political agenda, manage to deadlines and respond to changing priorities is essential.
