The closing date is 22 July 2025

Dorset is entering the first year of an ambitious two-year transformation programme to build and embed Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs) as a catalyst for system-wide change and more localised, joined-up care.

The development of INTs is a complex and evolving process. While we are clear on what needs to be achieved, improving outcomes and experience for people and communities, the how will continue to evolve through delivery. This requires a flexible, learning-led approach that blends delivery oversight with adaptive problem-solving, collaboration and a strong focus on impact.

This is an internal opportunity open to colleagues employed by - Dorset HealthCare, Dorset County Hospital, University Hospitals Dorset, Dorset Primary Care, Dorset County Council, Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole County Council and the Dorset ICB. We welcome applications from staff across all detailed organisations.

This is a fixed term role and for those with current NHS service, the role will be offered on a secondment basis only. Please obtain permission to be released on a secondment before submitting an application.

Main duties of the job

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with experience of delivering change at a service or system level, who enjoys working across boundaries and supporting others to do their best work.
