Building strong partnerships will be central to your success. You’ll work closely with healthcare professionals, Jobcentre Plus, local authorities, community organisations and other key stakeholders to ensure the service is fully embedded within local communities and delivers maximum impact for participants.

Supporting the Service Manager, you’ll take ownership of the performance and quality of your designated area, using data and insight to drive continuous improvement and quickly address any areas of underperformance. You'll also collaborate with colleagues across Shaw Trust's wider IPS network, sharing best practice and contributing to the ongoing success of the service.

This is an exciting opportunity for an inspirational leader who is passionate about helping people overcome barriers, developing high-performing teams and delivering meaningful results that make a lasting difference to people's lives and communities.
