NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK, employing around 40,000 staff across various clinical and non-clinical roles. We provide acute hospital, primary, community, and mental health services to a population of over 1.15 million, extending to 2.2 million when including regional and national services.

This is an exciting time for NHSGGC as we implement our new Transforming Together strategy to support Health & Social Care Reform.

We are seeking a talented individual to join our Corporate Planning Team as a Planning and Improvement Manager, reporting to the Head of Planning and Improvement.

You will collaborate with leaders to implement our new 3-year transformation plan. We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds with experience in strategy, transformation, or operations, whether from the public sector or consultancy. Healthcare/NHS experience is advantageous but not mandatory. You may already hold an operational/managerial role or be seeking your first strategy position.

The role involves supporting the planning and execution of our new Interface Care Division, which aims to transform urgent care delivery. Responsibilities include driving system-wide transformation, developing strategies, fostering collaboration, and innovating care models like the FNC +Plus care model, virtual hospital, Electronic Triage, and Rapid Assessment and Care (RAaC) units.

This position requires the ability to work independently and collaboratively with organizational leaders and teams to ensure strategic alignment internally and with system partners where applicable.

This is a unique opportunity to advance your career within a dynamic department committed to ambitious transformation initiatives.
