Workforce Delivery Lead
Summary
We are looking for a talented, creative Workforce Delivery Lead to join our small, but mighty team and drive our work in health & social care workforce development.
Salary: £42,000 – £45,000 FTE
Closing date: 13th September 2024
Aim of the role
Care City is working hard to bring about radical change that realises a more relational approach to health and care. One that involves communities, new roles, and ways of working with public and health partners supported by better technology.
We believe that radical change always has people at its centre – and the workforce across social care, health and the VCSE sector are critical to delivering the change we need to see. At Care City we’re continually asking ourselves how innovation can support the workforce and how the workforce can support innovation:
- What are the new roles needed to support a more integrated workforce across social care, health and the VCSE sector? How do we co-develop these new roles with partners across sectors, and the people who will benefit from them?
- How do we ensure our workforce has equitable access to the right support, development, and learning opportunities to deliver the future care we want to see?
- How do we support cultural change in the workforce to realise innovation and transformation?
- How do we create a social care sector which is seen as a place of opportunity, prestige and personal and professional growth?
We are looking for someone who wants to help us answer these questions. Someone who combines an understanding of key workforce challenges in health and care with a belief that there are better ways of doing things, and the skills and with the desire to deliver that change. Someone who can bring together stakeholders from across different sectors to work together towards a better future for our workforce and our residents. Someone who understands that innovation and change must be delivered with and for those it will impact.
We are looking for a motivated and innovative workforce delivery lead to: deliver Care City workforce projects; advise on and input into additional projects with a workforce component; and help build our expertise and pipeline of work to develop the workforce innovations of the future. You’ll be an experienced convener and problem solver, used to bringing together partners with varying objectives towards a common goal. You’ll be motivated by delivering real change in complex contexts, and enjoy getting to grips with policy, data and design to deeply understand and develop new approaches. You’ll work closely with our design researchers and community engagement lead to research and co-develop approaches which will truly serve our workforce and residents in North East London and beyond.
We are a small organisation that wants to make a big impact, and we recognise the need to have a diverse range of talent, skills and knowledge in our team.
Benefits include:
- A meaningful job where all team members contribute to improving the health and wellbeing of our North East London community
- Competitive and performance-based remuneration
- 27 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
- An additional day off per year for a celebration of your choice (e.g. birthday, anniversary)

- Development and training opportunities for shaping and realising your career goals
- Flexibility with working hours
- A collaborative team-run Health and Wellbeing group, and individual well being budget, providing access to counselling and other support services
- Personal User Guides. We work hard to understand each other’s working styles.
