Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust | Welwyn Garden City | findajob.dwp.gov.uk |
An opportunity has arisen for an ambitious, experienced, and system-minded professional to work in the East and North Health and Care Partnership (ENH HCP) as Director of Development.

Working closely with the most senior leaders within the ‘system’ including Chairs, Non-Executive Directors, Chief Executives, Executive Directors, and other system leaders, the Director of Development leads the coordination, development, and management of the place-based partnership in ENH.

The role is responsible for ensuring the partnership has robust strategies, development plans, and transformation programmes that enable the delivery of high-quality, population health-led, and integrated services for people living in ENH.

The Director of Development is required to be highly flexible, operate with a high degree of autonomy and work using their own initiative as this is a developmental role setting up new operating structures without a clear template.

The post holder will need to be a strong strategic thinker who can work across organisational boundaries and deliver outcomes through influence rather than direct line management. The post holder will need highly developed communication and relationship skills as many areas are likely to be contentious and will have significant barriers to overcome.

Please note Stakeholder panel and Interview panel will be held on then 30th May.

The Director of Development will ensure the partnership is inclusive of partners that have a key role to play in improving the provision of health and care services in ENH. The post holder will ensure that collaboration is built on a jointly owned strategy, a shift towards population health-led service development, and a foundation of mutual respect, trust, and understanding.
The role will be responsible for the development, leadership, and management of the Partnership Development Team (PDT), a jointly funded development budget, and a range of high-impact transformation programmes.
