You’ll also play a key role in continuous improvement—helping to strengthen PMO practices, embed good programme management, and promote a culture of transparency, accountability and learning.

About The Team

The Service Development and Improvement team plays a central role in supporting the successful delivery of Adult Social Care’s complex improvement programme. Working alongside programme leads and operational services, the team provides coordination, analysis and project management to ensure our vital improvement projects are effectively planned, monitored and delivered.

The team brings together data, insight and stakeholder input to inform decision-making, track progress against key milestones, and drive continuous improvement. By maintaining strong governance, supporting programme reporting and working collaboratively across teams and partner organisations, the team helps ensure that improvement activity is well-managed, evidence-based and focused on achieving better outcomes for residents.

About You

You’re someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, bringing energy, organisation and a real drive to deliver high-quality outcomes. You take pride in getting the detail right, but you never lose sight of the bigger picture—always looking for smarter, more effective ways to get things done.

You’re naturally proactive and solutions-focused, able to spot challenges early and take ownership of moving things forward. Whether working independently or as part of a collaborative team, you bring a positive, can-do approach and build strong relationships with those around you.

You stay calm and focused under pressure, adapting quickly when priorities shift and keeping delivery on track. At the same time, you’re always looking to grow—committed to learning, improving, and developing your skills.

Experience or understanding of Adult Social Care or the public sector is a bonus—but what really matters is your curiosity, your willingness to get stuck in, and your ambition to make a meaningful difference.
