Crynodeb
In the Supply Resilience Directorate, we work to help ensure the continuity of supply of medical products to patients and promote long term resilience. In doing so, we work closely with a range of partners across Government, DHSC and its ALBs, as well as industry and with international governments and organisations.
As Deputy Director for Supply Strategy and Continuity, you will lead a team of around 20 responsible for identifying, assessing and – where possible – mitigating, threats to the supply of medical products. These threats can arise anywhere across complex, global and highly regulated supply chains – from access to raw materials, movement of goods across borders, to last mile delivery to patients.
You will also promote long term resilience through domestic and international activity with the aim of reducing vulnerabilities; and help to build knowledge and capability on supply across the Directorate and broader department.
As a confident and experience leader, you should be able to set and delivery a strategic vision and manage complex risks. You should be comfortable working at pace and under pressure, able to challenge and partner with senior stakeholders, and skilled at continuously improving your team’s delivery.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is responsible for leading the nation’s health and social care to help people live more independent, longer and healthier lives. As part of this the robust supply of medical products play a crucial role. However, global, highly regulated, complex supply chains mean that product supply can be vulnerable to shocks, leading to potential shortages.
The core objective of the Supply Resilience Directorate is to help ensure the continuity of supply of medical products and promote long term resilience. This involves working with individual supply areas (from medicines to organs, vaccines to medical devices); the NHS; industry; the Devolved Administrations; the broader Health family; and cross Government Colleagues to manage disruption, respond to threats and build ambitious resilience plans.
The Supply Strategy and Continuity Team is responding to and preparing for challenges to the supply of medical products in the short-medium term and leading work with key partners to enhance supply resilience in the long term. The team also leads specific project-based work to support and enhance supply chain resilience; coordinates engagement with suppliers, wider industry stakeholders and international partners; and promotes the importance of supply resilience considerations in wider DHSC policy making.
Key Responsibilities
As Deputy Director, Supply Strategy and Continuity, your key responsibilities will include:
Effective management of supply threats: identifying, assessing and – where possible – mitigating threats to the supply of medical goods. This includes improving how we proactively identify threats and developing tools to assess them rapidly and robustly to inform policy and advise Ministers, often across Government.
Delivery of outstanding industry engagement: establishing and maintaining close and constructive relationships with industry, including key Trade Associations and individual companies. This is both to inform the work of Government and to help ensure industry are clear on what actions are required of them in response to relevant domestic and international activity.
Strengthening long term resilience: working across DHSC, other Government departments and internationally to promote activity to tackle vulnerabilities in medical supply chains. To help ensure actions are coherent across product areas, represent value for money and are informed by operational considerations.
Improving awareness and capability on supply: through delivery of priority projects, a programme of frontline visits, and departmental L&D offer, enhance the depth and breadth of understanding of medical supply chains and their link with departmental and cross-government priorities.
