* Transforming recovery pathways in complex care.
Engagement Practice Improvement Team
A key element of the Engagement Practice Improvement Team fixed‑term role is to be a credible leader in engaging with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders to provide expert guidance, coaching and training that enables both HIS and health and social care organisations to build capabilities in good engagement practice improvement.
Our work ensures the contribution of lived and living experience across the totality of our programmes requiring expertise in collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders to design inclusive, accessible and people‑led improvement approaches.
The Improvement Advisor roles will work collaboratively to bring together a diverse range of services and stakeholders to drive improvement across health and social care systems. These roles requires a strong foundation in quality improvement methodologies, alongside proven experience of engaging effectively with a wide range of stakeholders to inform and shape service change.
The focus of the roles are on understanding complex systems and designing, testing, implementing and spreading improvement approaches that support local services to build sustainable capacity and capability for change. You will play a key role in analysing and translating complex information into clear, practical tools, insights and resources that support improvement in practice.
We are seeking experienced, enthusiastic and proactive individuals who can deliver high‑quality improvement and implementation support directly to health and social care services, working as part of a multidisciplinary team.
If you are passionate about improving health and care in complex systems and want to make a real difference, we would love to hear from you.
