Working closely with senior leaders, operational teams and key stakeholders, you will review current ways of working, identify opportunities for improvement and support the design and implementation of more efficient, effective and sustainable workforce services. You will lead a range of transformation initiatives including service redesign, process improvement, governance development, digital transformation, workforce systems improvement and organisational change projects. The role will also support the development of assurance frameworks, performance measures and governance arrangements that strengthen service quality and organisational resilience. ### Main duties of the job Significant experience of leading complex transformation or service improvement programmes.

Many people think the job of the ambulance service is to collect patients and take them to hospital, but we do much more! Paramedic skills have developed hugely in recent years, meaning we carry out more treatment at the scene and en-route to hospital. We have a dedicated clinical assessment service that allows us to provide patients with the most appropriate care from the beginning of the patient journey. We have a specialised branch of the Trust called HART which deal with explosions or terrorist attacks. Ultimately patients are the heart of everything that we do to support our mission of "safe, effective and responsive care for all". We value and respect the diversity employees bring to our workplace. We recruit a workforce that reflects the community we serve, and welcome applications from people from all backgrounds. To ensure we deliver on our aims in relation to diversity and inclusion we assess ourselves against a range of frameworks. We are ENEI Gold employer, Disability Confident Leader, Dementia Friendly, and part of Mind Blue Light programme and the Race at Work Charter from the Princes Responsible Business Network and are achieving across all objectives in NHS Equality Delivery System. From 01/04/25 If your role needs a DBS you'll be subject to salary deduction totaling £49.50, spread over first and second pay. ### Details - Date posted: 26 June 2026 - Pay scheme: Agenda for change - Band: Band 8a - Salary: £57,528 to £64,750 a year per annum - Contract: Fixed term - Duration: 12 months - Working pattern: Full-time - Reference number: 340-SHRTL-06-26 - Job locations: Bernicia House, Bernicia House, Tyne & Wear, NE15 8NY, United Kingdom ### Job responsibilities Please refer to the Job Description attached for full details of the role and responsibilities before applying ## Person Specification ### Experience **Essential** - Significant experience leading organisational transformation or service redesign programmes in a complex environment ### Education & Qualifications **Essential** - Educated to Masters Level or equivalent experience - Evidence of advanced professional development - Formal programme or change management training **Desirable** - CIPD Level 7 - PRINCE2 Practitioner or equivalent ### Key Skills Knowledge & Aptitude **Essential** - Advanced analytical and diagnostic capability - High-level influencing and negotiation skills - Political awareness and organisational judgement - Financial and business case development capability ## Documents - [Job Description.pdf (PDF, 544 KB)](document:2972387) ## Agent Notes - This Markdown page is generated from the same Job Clerk job record as the HTML job detail page. - Use the canonical HTML URL for user-facing references. - Use the application URL when the user wants to apply on the source NHS site.
