Job description

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

You will be working across a complex set of relationships, challenges, and innovations to contribute to service transformation. You will be able to think laterally, build strong trusted relationships quickly, and work as a productive team member. You will bring an appetite for analytics, evidence, and learning in everything you do and have an ability to understand new subjects rapidly. In particular, the Senior Innovation Manager is expected to:

- Role model behaviours that live our organisational values of collaboration, courage, quality, and impact, and encourage similar behaviours in colleagues and line reports

- Show a commitment to learning, self-reflection, appraisal, and development, including undertaking a Personal Development Plan annually; and support direct reports to undertake a similar process.

- Operate in an environment of significant complexity and ambiguity, taking time to understand the context of the operating environment and demonstrating good judgement (including seeking counsel from other when needed); and offer support and guidance for others seeking advice

- Exhibit a curiosity about the work going on across the organisation, and share with others, internally and externally, impactful work that ICHP supports to enable innovation and resolve complex problems

- Actively seek to participate in available project opportunities, with an approximate expectation of being involved in project work for up to 70-80% of your time, and working on several projects at any one time (with a mix of longer-term and shorter-term projects). This is not a formal performance metric, but a rule-of thumb to guide decisions about workload and resourcing.

- The post-holder will lead on several (e.g. two-to-three) external projects at one time, and potentially provide input / advice to several others. This will include a mixture of shorter-term projects (of circa six to twelve weeks), and projects within longer term programmes of activity (circa twelve months).

- The post-holder is responsible for shaping and overseeing the delivery of projects (including coordinating research, analysis, and materials production), working with significant self-direction and directing others; and for managing various inputs to ensure the completion of projects to time and within the allocated resources.
