Dorset is part way through an ambitious two-year transformation programme to build and embed Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs) as a catalyst for system-wide change and more localised, joined-up care.
The Neighbourhood Health & Wellbeing Programme and the development of INTs are complex and evolving processes.
While we are clear on what needs to be achieved, improving outcomes and experience for people and communities, the approach to achieving this will continue to evolve through the programme development and delivery.
This requires a flexible and adaptable approach, working closely with programme stakeholders and leadership to respond to emerging needs, navigate complexity and support the agile planning, coordination and delivery of the programme.
This is an internal opportunity open to colleagues employed by - Dorset HealthCare, Dorset County Hospital, University Hospitals Dorset, Dorset Primary Care, Dorset County Council, Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole County Council and the Dorset ICB. We welcome applications from staff across all detailed organisations.
Please note visa sponsorship for this role is unfortunately not available. Ensure you hold valid right to work in the UK and will not require sponsorship if successful.
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.
