It offers an opportunity to work across that space between strategy, transformation and operational delivery: understanding how priorities become programmes, how those programmes are tracked and assured, and how issues are identified and addressed early. This would suit someone who is interested in how organisations actually deliver change and those looking to move into a more system-wide, portfolio-level role. The Performance Improvement team sits within the Transformation and Performance Improvement directorate, working across major Trust priorities — including supporting the move to our new hospital at King’s Cross. We help the organisation plan, assure and deliver improvement work that strengthens performance, productivity and financial sustainability.

You will work with clinical, operational and corporate teams who own delivery, while aligning closely with transformation, finance and performance colleagues. Your role is less about direct delivery, and more about: - shaping how programmes are set up and governed - providing constructive challenge - bringing consistency across the portfolio - helping teams to deliver more effectively Accountable for - Consistent and clear reporting against agreed outcomes - Effective governance and assurance across programmes (including stage gates) - Early identification and escalation of risks and delivery issues - Ensuring work is planned and controlled to support delivery, benefits realisation and value for money ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities What the Performance Improvement team delivers The team provides assurance across the Trust’s improvement portfolio, with consistent methodology, governance and reporting to the Trust Management Executive.
