Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland is looking for an experienced transformation leader to drive the implementation of a newly redesigned Community Support Service model, helping ensure that innovative service design is translated into sustainable, impactful delivery across Scotland.
Following an extensive redesign programme involving staff, volunteers, service users, and stakeholders, a new vision for Community Support Services has been developed. We are now seeking an exceptional implementation specialist to lead the next phase of this journey, taking the redesigned service model from concept into practice and ensuring it delivers meaningful benefits for the people we support.
Role Responsibilities
- Reporting directly to the Director of Service Delivery, the Interim Service Implementation Lead will lead the mobilisation, implementation, and embedding of the redesigned Community Support Service model.
- Acting as the bridge between strategic design and operational delivery, you will work with colleagues, volunteers, people with lived experience, and external partners to ensure successful adoption of new pathways, workforce models, referral routes, and approaches to self-management support.
- Oversee implementation planning, change management, stakeholder engagement, and continuous improvement activities, ensuring the programme is delivered on time, benefits are realised, and learning is embedded into future service delivery.
- The role will require strong leadership, collaboration, and the ability to navigate change within a complex organisational environment.
