Job summary
The Workforce & OD team in partnership with the
Integrated Stroke Delivery Network (ISDN), are looking to recruit to a Stroke
Workforce & OD Programme Manager for 1 year, on either a fixed term or
secondment basis; the post is embedded in the Workforce & OD team, but will
operate under a matrix management arrangement across Workforce and the ISDN,
providing the postholder with a breadth of opportunity and support.
The role gives a great opportunity for exposure to system
working, where the postholder can extend their network, get a greater
understanding of health and care pathways and gain broad experience to support
career progression.
We welcome applicants with relevant experience, recognising
that many will not have worked in both the stroke and workforce fields. Support

redesigning and improving clinical services across stroke patient pathways, through
workforce interventions. These interventions will include workforce modelling
across the stroke pathway, standardisation of knowledge and skills within the
stroke workforce, introducing new roles and ways of working, identifying and
implementing recruitment and retention strategies and leadership development.
As part of the wider Workforce & OD team, the postholder
may also be required to provide support on other initiatives relating to
workforce, alongside their stroke portfolio.
