This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in shaping how we respond to the changing health and care environment and continue to meet the needs of our patients.
About the Role
As Strategy Lead, you will work on a diverse portfolio of change and transformation programmes, leading and supporting initiatives that range from operational improvement programmes such as winter planning through to major system-wide partnerships and strategic developments, including Neighbourhood Health. You will be well connected to the frontline, working closely with multidisciplinary teams across LAS to redesign services, improve ways of working and ensure the voices of staff, patients and stakeholders directly influence our strategic direction.
This is a dynamic and varied role, offering the opportunity to work across multiple programmes simultaneously, build strong relationships across the organisation and wider health system, and make a significant contribution to one of the NHS's most visible and impactful organisations that works pan-London.
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.
