NHS Supply Chain has an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Pathway Manager to join our Care Pathway Team at a pivotal time of transformation, helping to make it easier for the NHS to put patients first.

We are seeking an experienced clinical professional to lead clinical engagement activities that drive the adoption of evidence-based best practice and support the transformation of patient care pathways across the NHS. In this role, you will work collaboratively with clinical stakeholders in the South East region, to identify and implement opportunities that improve patient outcomes while delivering measurable clinical and non-clinical value.

  • Collect feedback from identified customers or customer segments to ensure their needs are met, providing themes, summary analyses, and recommendations for change based on customer input.
  • Take strategic direction and lead the development and execution of policies and processes that improve and enhance care pathways and the adoption of innovation.
  • Plan and deliver stakeholder engagement activities to develop effective working relationships for projects and to ensure that stakeholder needs and concerns are identified and met.
  • Lead clinical engagement and manage the relationships with key clinical stakeholders across region. Provide support for senior colleagues with clinical input for engagement with larger key partners and stakeholders.
  • Identify and optimise relationships and interactions with external and internal stakeholders, including key decision makers, regulators, public organisations, governmental institutions, suppliers, providers, professional communities, and customer/client/patient groups.
  • Identify shortcomings and suggest improvements to existing processes, systems, and procedures, then deliver a plan for a small element of a change management program with guidance from a project/program manager.
  • Collaborate with the local Care Pathway Specialist and National Care Pathway Team to optimise the delivery of our Value Based Healthcare and Innovation workstreams.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
