- Supporting service development, improvement programmes and transformation activity
- Providing senior input to programme governance, stakeholder engagement and decision‑making

- Team leadership and line management duties
Previous experience at Band 8B / senior manager / associate director level (or equivalent) is expected.
Interviews expected to be held mid to end of April
Advert
The scope of work will be kept under review and may evolve during the engagement to reflect emerging priorities.
Working arrangements
- Flexible engagement – anticipated 3–5 months
- Flexible working days / pattern to be agreed
- Hybrid working, with some on‑site presence in Bromley as required
This role is not intended as a substantive or permanent appointment and does not carry any expectation of ongoing or fixed hours beyond the agreed engagement.
About you
You will be a highly experienced senior professional with:
- Strong knowledge of primary care and community services commissioning
- Experience working at senior level across NHS systems and partnerships
- Credibility with clinicians, providers and system leaders
