Partnerships Project Lead
The Partnerships Project Lead leads the development, delivery, and ongoing improvement of a portfolio of partnership programmes to improve the health and wellbeing of people in South London, with a particular focus on tackling health inequalities and addressing the wider social and economic determinants of health.
Working across a complex system, the postholder builds and stewards relationships with community leaders, VCSE organisations, healthcare providers, funders, and commissioners, translating shared priorities into deliverable programmes and ensuring effective implementation and impact. They hold responsibility for effective delivery of key partnerships with non-NHS funders and organisations, providing oversight, pace, and grip across programme design and governance, delivery, and evaluation.
The postholder is the NHS lead for our Trust Partnership with Impact on Urban Health, which includes work to address inequalities in Black Maternal Health and Black Mental Health, accountable for ensuring delivery is coordinated, outcomes-focused, and sustainable over time.
The role plays an important part in shaping and supporting how the NHS works with partners, contributing to the development of more participatory approaches to funding, helping to embed learning across the system, and contributing to the evolution of strategic commissioning practice to better address health inequalities.
