Main duties of the job

Bexley and Greenwich are facing significant challenges across the health and social care system which are difficult to solve because of incomplete, contradictory and changing requirements that are multifactorial and highly complex. These issues go beyond the ability of one single organisation to resolve and require significant system-wide redesign, mindset and behaviour change to create the necessary impact. The postholder will support on borough-based cross organisational programmes of work that will address these "wicked problems". The postholder will work with subject matter experts to deliver sustainable system-wide development across Bexley and Greenwich. The work will be dictated by the system-wide needs and in line with SEL priorities.

Supported by the programme lead, the postholder will take on designated projects/workstreams. Performance management of projects/workstreams will be key and focus on improving patient safety, experience and health and social care outcomes alongside cost effectiveness and efficiencies to services delivery.
