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. The ambition contained within the 10 Year Health Plan is to deliver a Digital 1st Strategy which will enable staff to access People services anytime and anyplace, to book annual leave, or onboard to a new organisation digitally, with virtual assistants to improve both staff and manager experience. This ambition will be delivered through the Transforming people Services Programme.
Being part of this programme 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.
As a Senior People Services Transformation Lead for People Managers, you will join one of the NHS’s most ambitious and high-profile transformation programmes, working at the centre of a nationally significant agenda to modernise people services for the future. You will help design and deliver innovative, user-centric and digitally enabled people manager services that improve staff experience, enable people professionals to focus on matters to the business whilst achieving increased operational efficiency and productivity, support better outcomes for staff, patients and communities across the country.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will play a key role in bringing together operational expertise, policy, service design and digital capability to redesign how people services are experienced and delivered across the NHS.
About
We are looking for ambitious, collaborative and delivery-focused service design experts who thrive in complexity and are passionate about improving public services. The ideal candidate will bring:
- Leadership leading complex transformation, service improvement or workforce redesign programmes within large or complex organisations
- Strong understanding of HR, workforce or people services, with experience designing user-centred and digitally enabled service models
- Experience of bringing together experts and customers to develop a service or function
Working within the Service Design Team, you will collaborate with specialists and customers from across the NHS to shape future operating models and redesign how people services work at scale. This is a rare opportunity to influence strategic decisions, lead meaningful change and see the direct impact of your work across the health system.
Most importantly, you will be part of a team delivering change that improves the experience of the NHS workforce and supporting better outcomes for patients and communities nationwide.

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.
Application Details
If you currently work within the NHS and if successful at interview, we will initiate an Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR). This retrieves key data from your current or previous NHS employer to support onboarding, including competency status, Continuous Service Dates (CSD), and annual leave entitlement. 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.
Staff recruited from outside the NHS will usually be appointed at the bottom of the pay band.
