  • Leading and managing a multidisciplinary team through effective matrix management.
  • Acting as the Designated Safeguarding Manager (DSM) for the region, ensuring compliance and addressing risks.
  • Building and maintaining high-impact relationships with key stakeholders and partners to improve care and support.
  • Supporting the development of statutory health and care services and influencing improvements.
  • Collaborating with national teams to integrate regional and national service offerings.
  • Contributing to strategic planning and delivery, ensuring alignment with organisational goals.


About You:

  • A solid understanding of UK health and social care systems.
  • A degree or equivalent professional experience.
  • A proven ability to manage large and complex workloads with competing priorities.
  • Strong leadership skills to motivate and inspire a multidisciplinary team.
  • Significant experience in people management, particularly in a matrix environment.
  • A track record of delivering results-focused strategies, plans, and budgets.
  • Excellent interpersonal and negotiation skills, with the ability to influence and build relationships at a senior level.
