Innovation Strategy Manager

2 months ago

Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom Department of Health and Social Care Full time

Job Overview

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is dedicated to empowering individuals to lead more independent and healthier lives. We uphold four core values: inclusivity, continuous improvement, challenge, and agility. If you resonate with these values, we invite you to explore this opportunity.

The Innovation Division plays a pivotal role in addressing one of the Department's foremost Ministerial priorities: enhancing the adoption of safe, ethical, and effective innovations within the health and care sector.

This newly established function aims to create a compelling vision for innovation, formulate a strategic approach to realize this vision, and ensure effective coordination for successful implementation. It will tackle cross-cutting innovation policy issues through its project team, foster a culture of innovation within the Department, and fulfill essential briefing requirements.

We seek to build a team of imaginative self-starters who excel at establishing trust and executing tasks efficiently.

As a key Ministerial priority, this role will provide substantial exposure to Ministers, the Department Board, and senior officials. Collaboration with the Department's broader policy teams and senior leaders from NHS England, NICE, MHRA, and HRA will be essential.

Role Responsibilities

We are looking for two Innovation Managers who are independent and creative thinkers to significantly contribute to the Department's innovation agenda and ensure its successful execution. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Defining Innovation Priorities: Collaborate with key stakeholders across DHSC and its Arm's Length Bodies to clarify the Department's innovation priorities and transform them into a practical and widely endorsed plan. Stay attuned to the broader context, utilizing relevant insights to enhance the system's innovation efforts and identify emerging trends. Provide well-founded recommendations for future initiatives based on evidence.
  • Coordinating System Efforts: Build and maintain networks to ensure alignment across the health and social care system with the Department's strategy. Oversee the mapping of innovation challenges to prioritize and delegate responsibilities for addressing gaps in government provision. Lead project management activities, developing project plans and tracking progress for reporting to senior officials and Ministers.
  • Addressing High-Priority Innovation Challenges: Lead critical projects that tackle the Department's most pressing innovation challenges, which may span multiple policy teams or require independent evaluation. This may involve assessing how the health and social care system can better capture value for commercial entities and align incentives to foster innovation adoption.
  • Fostering a Culture of Innovation: Encourage and nurture a culture of innovation and continuous improvement throughout the health and care system. Provide thought leadership and create platforms to stimulate innovative policy thinking across various departmental levels and teams.
  • Briefing Support: Oversee and assist in the completion of briefing commissions, including correspondence and parliamentary inquiries.

Person Specification

We expect candidates to:

  • Demonstrate problem-solving abilities while maintaining a focus on the broader context and respond positively to coaching for independent work.
  • Deliver precise and insightful work under time constraints.
  • Build a robust network of contacts across DHSC and its Arm's Length Bodies to support your initiatives.
  • Present findings confidently to senior officials in both written and verbal formats.

The two roles will be divided into a strategy team and a projects team, with all members expected to collaborate across the entire portfolio as needed. The strategy team will concentrate on defining innovation priorities, coordinating system efforts, and briefing, while the projects team will focus on cross-cutting innovation challenges and promoting a culture of innovation.

We encourage the sharing of ideas in a supportive environment and active participation in shaping the team's direction as it evolves.

Key Skills and Experience Required

Essential:

  • Strategic problem-solving: Ability to dissect and resolve issues effectively, understanding complex information and presenting it clearly for project delivery.
  • Communication: Trustworthy in drafting policy notes with minimal revisions and presenting work to senior audiences.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Build relationships and influence a diverse range of stakeholders at all levels.
  • Adaptability: Deliver accurate work amidst ambiguity and time constraints, remaining flexible to changing circumstances.
  • Creativity: Offer diverse and innovative perspectives to address longstanding challenges.

Desirable:

  • Experience in program management and governance, particularly in managing Boards or Committees.
  • Understanding of how innovation, science, and technology can impact the health and care system.

Flexible Working Location

Your primary workplace will be your contractual location, typically in London or Leeds. DHSC offers non-contractual hybrid working, with a minimum expectation of 60% of your working time spent in the office to foster collaboration and support.

During the application process, you will indicate your location preference. Please note that this role is only available for work within the UK, and some travel may be necessary across the DHSC estate.

Opportunities for remote work may be available, and other flexible working arrangements can be discussed with the hiring manager based on individual circumstances and business needs.

Behaviors and Technical Skills

We will assess candidates against the following behaviors:

  • Collaboration
  • Adaptability and Improvement
  • Efficiency
  • Strategic Perspective

Technical skills will also be evaluated, including:

  • Problem-Solving Ability
  • Information Synthesis and Communication

Benefits

In addition to a competitive salary, the Department of Health and Social Care contributes towards your membership in the Civil Service Defined Benefit Pension scheme. Other benefits include:

  • Tailored learning and development opportunities
  • Flexible working options
  • A culture that promotes inclusion and diversity
  • An average employer contribution of 27% towards your pension
