The role is suited to an ambitious professional with significant experience and evidence of delivery and performance within a strategic planning and/or service transformation role. You will be a resilient and inspirational leader with integrity at your core and be able to create a clear sense of purpose and be inclusive of stakeholders.

You will need to have the ability to influence thinking locally, regionally and nationally.
To excel in this role, you should be educated to degree level with a relevant postgraduate or equivalent experience/qualification.
