About the vacancy:
Hedyn is seeking an experienced Continuous Improvement Analyst to join its newly established Continuous Improvement function. This role will help services work more effectively through evidence-led analysis, process improvement, and sustainable change. We’re looking for an established and experienced Continuous Improvement professional who can quickly build credibility across the organisation and make an immediate contribution to improvement activity.
You’ll have experience using continuous improvement concepts and methodologies such as Systems Thinking and DMAIC, with an ability to evidence your use of data analysis and process mapping to understand end-to-end services, identify root causes, and uncover opportunities to improve performance, efficiency, and customer outcomes. You’ll be skilled at facilitating workshops, conducting service reviews, producing clear recommendations, and supporting the delivery of measurable, sustainable improvements.
Strong analytical, stakeholder engagement, and influencing skills are essential, alongside the ability to challenge constructively, build trust quickly, and become a valued partner to operational teams. Experience of applying structured improvement methodologies in complex service environments is essential.
Hedyn operates a SMART Working approach, providing flexibility in how and where colleagues work. This role is highly collaborative and relationship focused, requiring regular engagement with teams across the organisation. As a result, the successful candidate should expect to spend a significant amount of time working alongside operational teams in our office environment to facilitate improvement activities, build strong partnerships, and support the delivery of sustainable change.
Specific Responsibilities:
Service Analysis and Diagnosis
- Analyse services using operational data, customer insight, performance information, and stakeholder feedback to identify improvement opportunities.
- Develop a clear understanding of how services operate in practice, including key pain points, inefficiencies, risks, and root causes.
- Translate complex information to establish service demand (volume, type, variation) to identify patterns, constraints, and drivers of performance.
- Identify and quantify failure demand, including avoidable contact, rework, and repeat activity.
- Evaluate end-to-end processes to identify waste (e.g. duplication, delays, unnecessary hand-offs, non-value activity).
- Produce clear, evidence-based findings that support prioritisation and decision-making.

Process Mapping and Service Understanding

- Identify opportunities for simplification, standardisation, redesign, and appropriate automation.
- Ensure process understanding reflects operational, system, policy, and customer experience considerations.
- Maintain accurate and accessible process documentation to support consistency and future improvement activity.
Continuous Improvement Delivery
- Deliver and embed Hedyn’s continuous improvement methodology across improvement activity.
- Contribute to the structuring of improvement work, including defining scope, requirements, options, and key measures.
- Lead defined elements of improvement activity (e.g. analysis, mapping, requirements, implementation tracking).
- Track actions, dependencies, risks, and progress as part of implementation.
- Complete evaluations of improvement activity by assessing outcomes, benefits, and sustainability of change.
Insight & Evidence
- Translate data, customer voice, colleague feedback, and assurance insight into clear and actionable intelligence.
- Collaborate with Insight and Data colleagues to develop appropriate measures, baselines, and reporting.
- Support the definition and tracking of benefits, ensuring improvement activity is evidence-led.
- Identify trends, variation, and emerging issues to inform improvement priorities and decisions.

- Collaborate with managers, service leads, frontline colleagues, and customers to understand service challenges.
- Facilitate and support workshops, problem-solving sessions, and service reviews.
- Build effective working relationships that enable collaborative, service-led improvement.
- Present findings, insight, and process information clearly, tailored to different audiences.
Customer-Centred Improvement
- Ensure customer experience, voice, and value are embedded in service analysis and improvement activity.
- Ensure the capture and use of lived experience within service reviews and redesign work.
- Contribute to improvements that strengthen delivery of Hedyn’s customer promise and outcomes for residents and communities.
Capability Building and Continuous Improvement Culture
- Develop tools, templates, and guidance to enable consistent improvement practice.
- Build improvement capability by coaching teams to apply structured approaches.
- Promote consistent use of improvement methods, language, and frameworks.
