Job overview

This is an exciting time for the Trust, as we launch our new ambitious Trust Strategy and start to plan as part of the New Hospitals Programme and Frimley Park Hospital.

You will work alongside leaders in the coordination and publication of our new Trust Strategy and supporting strategies which will steer the trust through the next five years.

We welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds with a proven track record in strategy work/ transformation or operations, whether from a consulting firm or in-house.

Exceptional stakeholder relationship skills.

Excellent, engaging communicator.

Able to work across multi-functional teams to draw key themes.
Experience of initiating and delivering complex cross-organisation projects.

Experience in managing up and across. This role will require someone to work closely with the teams and senior leaders but also with peers and stakeholders, so being able to adapt style to stakeholders will be key.

Strong literacy and MS PowerPoint skills ensuring large amounts of qualitative and quantitative data can be distilled and communicated in a simple, effective way.
