About the Business
We're a PE-backed group offering staffing and specialist services to the health and social care markets, operating from the UK, but our services are delivered in the UK and the USA. Our transformation agenda includes technology implementation, commercial improvement, operational excellence, AI Adoption, international expansion and new product development.
Role Overview
You'll own the Group's transformation office, effectively connecting strategy, execution and reporting, to ensure the leadership team and investors have complete visibility of progress against the Group's transformation and growth initiatives.
This isn’t a project management role in the traditional sense, and while the quality and maintenance of our plans is crucial, success will be measured by whether strategic initiatives are delivered to plan. You will be responsible for challenging senior stakeholders, removing blockers, and keeping momentum high to ensure the benefits planned are realised in full.
In this role, you'll work directly with the CEO and Executive Team on all strategic initiatives across the Group, working across investor discussions, commercial strategy, technology transformation, operational improvement and organisational change.
Key Responsibilities
Programme Governance
- Establish and maintain a practical PMO framework across the Group
- Translate the value creation plans into structured workstreams with clear ownership, milestones and measurable outcomes
- Own the cadence of weekly transformation reviews, Executive reporting and monthly Steering Committee packs, ensuring actions are tracked through to completion
- Maintain a single source of truth for initiative tracking, status and impact

Execution and Delivery
- Partner with function heads across Operations, Sales, Finance, HR and IT to drive initiatives through to completion
- Support business cases, implementation plans and benefit tracking
- Monitor progress, challenge initiative owners constructively where it slips, and escalate risk early
- Keep initiatives commercially focused so they deliver measurable value rather than activity
- Continuously look for ways to improve commercial performance, simplify processes and accelerate delivery beyond the existing transformation roadmap
- Identify dependencies between initiatives and proactively resolve conflicts over priorities, resources and timing
Reporting & Communication
- Synthesise complex information into concise reporting for the Executive Team, Board and investors
- Build dashboards giving clear visibility of delivery, risk and financial impact
- Produce Board, lender and investor-quality reporting requiring minimal revision
Strategic Projects
- Lead or support cross-functional initiatives: technology implementation, AI and automation, process improvement, operational integration, and commercial improvement
About You
Commercially minded and curious, you enjoy solving difficult business problems more than just maintaining a project plan. You're comfortable operating with ambiguity, and equally comfortable challenging a senior leader, analysing commercial data, or building a board presentation.
