**Job summary**:
In Department for Health and Social Care's (DHSC) Electives Directorate, we are proud to focus on one of the Government’s top 5 delivery priorities, as well as delivering a key part of the Department’s purpose to enable everyone to live more independent, healthier lives for longer. We are supportive, inclusive and solutions-focussed and our teams work hard to understand the challenges facing the electives system and how we can improve patient outcomes and experience. In particular, we work with NHS England and others to set direction for the elective system for the future and ensure timely delivery of targets set out in the elective recovery plan.

We are looking for individuals who are keen to grip a stretching brief in a priority area, to shape projects and policy direction as part of a supportive and high performing team.

**Across two Deputy Director led teams where we are recruiting for new team members, we focus on the following**:

- Delivery of the priorities set out in the Elective Recovery Plan, using excellent understanding and analysis of data, impactful presentation of quantitative and qualitative evidence and generating insights and solutions.
- Providing updates and advice to Ministers to assess progress on delivery, exploring variation and solutions and working closely with our excellent analytical team and colleagues in NHS England.
- Gripping the different elements of the electives system to understand delivery and the challenges and opportunities that exist - including on theatre productivity, diagnostics, outpatients, referrals, funding, choice, patient experience and more.
- Getting to grips with the big strategic questions in electives so we can ensure that future policy and spending decisions are grounded in evidence and credible insights.

The Directorate is a great place to work, with a fast-paced and challenging brief which would suit individuals who like getting to grips with broad, challenging issues to find solutions. The roles would suit individuals who might be looking to learn new skills and approaches to policy, delivery and performance in public services.

The directorate is a friendly, supportive and welcoming place to work on an interesting and high-profile policy area.
