NHS People Portal Transformation Programme

The programme will standardise workforce processes, improve user experience and support national workforce priorities.
About the Role
East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust is seeking an experienced change professional to support the local implementation of the NHS People Portal. The postholder will lead business process change, organisational readiness and benefits realisation activities, helping the Trust adopt new ways of working and maximise the benefits of the new system.
Reporting to the Transformation Lead, the role will work closely with NHSBSA implementation teams, supplier partners and colleagues across People Services, Digital, Finance and operational services. Key responsibilities include assessing change impacts, supporting process redesign, engaging stakeholders and driving adoption across the organisation.
The successful candidate will have experience delivering complex organisational change, strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, and the ability to build effective relationships at all levels to support successful transformation outcomes.
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.
