NHS Transforming People Services (TPS) Programme
The NHS Transforming People Services (TPS) programme sits at the heart of delivering the NHS 10 Year Health Plan — creating a workforce that is empowered, flexible and digitally enabled to meet the evolving needs of patients and communities.
This is more than a transformation role, it is an opportunity to redefine how people services are delivered across the NHS and directly influence the experience of one of the largest workforces in the world.
About the Role
The Senior Engagement Manager will work closely with national leaders, regional teams, People professionals, service designers, professional networks and Trade Union representatives, the National Engagement Lead across England to create meaningful opportunities for collaboration and co-design, helping to ensure transformation is informed by the needs and experiences of those who deliver and use People Services.
- Building trusted relationships, driving stakeholder confidence and supporting the successful adoption of new services, operating models and ways of working.
- Lead regional engagement activities for TPS, ensuring stakeholders are informed, involved and prepared for change.
- Coordinate engagement events, workshops and feedback activities, ensuring regional views shape programme decisions and support successful transformation delivery.
Key Requirements
We are looking for ambitious, collaborative and delivery-focused individual who thrive in complexity and are passionate about improving public services.

Our staff bring expertise across clinical, operational, commissioning, technology, data science, cyber security, software engineering, education, and commercial specialisms — enabling us to design and deliver high-quality NHS services.
In March 2025, the Government announced that NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care will increasingly merge functions, ultimately leading to NHS England being fully integrated into the department.

You may opt out at any stage of the process.
Colleagues with a contractual office base are expected to spend, on average, at least 40% of their time working in our offices.
