Crynodeb
Are you passionate about improving the lives of people with cancer? Do you want to ensure more people survive cancer than ever before? Working in NHS England’s Cancer Programme, that’s just what you’ll do.
Our goal is to diagnose cancer earlier, help more people survive it, and improve their quality of life and experience of care. We work with people affected by cancer, clinicians, charities, Regions, Cancer Alliances and trusts, and develop national policy and strategy to transform services for people across the country.
We are working closely with colleagues in the Department of Health and Social Care on the development of the National Cancer Plan, anticipated for publication in the second half of this year.
Our work has been reshaping the experience of cancer patients across England. You will be instrumental in delivering our ambition to improve cancer outcomes.
The Cancer Programme takes its responsibility to promote equality and diversity seriously. We respect colleagues from different backgrounds and embrace different cultural preferences in everything we do.
Are you the right person for the job?
The Policy and Strategy team within the Cancer Programme has a broad remit for strategic policy development and implementing key strategic projects to support our ambitions on improved outcomes, from activities to understand and address inequalities in cancer to key enablers such as understanding and leveraging levers and incentives and opportunities for innovation. We work with colleagues across NHS England, DHSC and other major stakeholder organisations and partners from across the cancer community. We oversee people and communities engagement across the Cancer Programme.
We are looking for a Senior Strategy Manager to join the Policy and Strategy team. You will be responsible for the strategic development and delivery of specific policy and strategy projects, including those linked to the development and delivery of the National Cancer Plan.
If you have excellent policy, strategy, stakeholder and delivery skills, enjoy working in a fast-paced environment at the heart of NHS policy and have a strong commitment to diversity and equality, we would love to hear from you.
The NHS England board have set out the top-level purpose for the new organisation to lead the NHS in England to deliver high-quality services for all, which will inform the detailed design work and we will achieve this purpose by:
• Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities.
• Making the NHS a great place to work, where our people can make a difference and achieve their potential.
• Working collaboratively to ensure our healthcare workforce has the right knowledge, skills, values and behaviours to deliver accessible, compassionate care
• Optimising the use of digital technology, research, and innovation
• Delivering value for money.
