Main duties of the job

What you will do

• Lead the Culture Programme’s delivery plan, milestones, dependencies, benefits, resources, risks and accountabilities.
• Translate diagnostic evidence, strategic priorities, NHS Staff Standards and staff insight into sequenced, measurable workstreams.
• Design and facilitate evidence-informed OD interventions across organisational, divisional, service and team levels.
• Create inclusive and psychologically safe engagement and co-design approaches, with targeted outreach to staff whose voices are less often heard.
• Provide clear assurance, insight and decision papers to executive, committee and Board-level forums.
• Develop the programme’s measurement and benefits framework, using workforce evidence to evaluate impact and equity.
• Lead and develop a small multidisciplinary team, while building OD and culture-change capability across the Trust.
• Work across boundaries with clinical and corporate leaders, staff networks, trade unions, People and OD colleagues, improvement teams and external partners.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

Programme leadership and delivery

• Act as the senior programme lead for the Culture Programme, maintaining a clear delivery plan, milestones, dependencies, benefits, resources and accountabilities across the programme lifecycle.
• Translate the culture diagnostic, strategic priorities, NHS Staff Standards and staff insight into sequenced workstreams and interventions with clear outcomes and measures.
• Lead mobilisation of the first 12–18 months, including socialising the case for change, developing and co-designing the culture vision, engaging staff, delivering prioritised quick wins, addressing known hotspots, writing the culture strategy and developing the next phase delivery plan.
• Lead longer-term implementation using compassionate and collective leadership as the programme’s organising framework, ensuring interventions address structures, systems and behaviours.
• Identify and manage interfaces with EPR, Oriel, workforce transformation, improvement and operational People and OD priorities so culture activity supports, rather than competes with, major organisational change.
