Engage Stakeholders: Bridge communication between technical teams and senior leaders, translating ideas into action.
Drive Change: Support digital transformation with strong planning, governance, and change management practices.
Lead Teams: Line manage and coach staff, develop high-performing teams, and contribute to recruitment, training, and team wellbeing.
Manage Budgets: Oversee project finances, ensure accurate forecasting, and contribute to business case development.

What You Bring

Certified Agile/Scrum professional with hands-on experience in delivery leadership.
Strong communicator and influencer with a passion for digital transformation.
Skilled in working across complex, multi-stakeholder environments—especially in healthcare or the public sector.
Comfortable managing multiple priorities, risks, and team dynamics.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR APPLICANTS: Applications for our roles are carefully reviewed and shortlisted based on specific criteria, which varies from job to job.

Using a generic application or automated AI application services, such as Lazy Apply or AI Apply, does not usually provide enough personal evidence of your skills and experience relevant to the role. This can make it difficult for us to assess your suitability and will reduce your chances of being shortlisted.

To ensure your application is given full consideration, we recommend submitting a tailored application that directly addresses the criteria listed in the Person Specification section of the advert, providing clear evidence and examples to demonstrate how you meet each requirement.

Visa Sponsorship Eligibility

If you require sponsorship under the Skilled Worker or Health and Care Visa routes, please ensure you self‑assess your eligibility for sponsorship for this role before applying.

The salary scale shown is for a full-time member of staff, with the amount being adjusted pro rata for those working less than 37.5 hours per week.
