Job summary

The work to establish a Group model between The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) and Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust (ShropCom) provides an exciting opportunity to transform health services across Shropshire Telford and Wrekin (STW).

By forming a Group model, both trusts believe they can deliver better care for patients and a better experience for staff through joint working.

A Group model will build on the strong foundations that already exist to continue to strengthen local services, improve resilience and performance and deliver value for taxpayers. The aim is to provide a united and stronger provider voice, that works together with partners, to respond to the collective challenges faced across STW Integrated Care System, and neighbouring areas. Acting as one NHS and working at scale, the trusts believe shared leadership will address the clinical, performance and financial pressures and enable the shift towards a preventative and neighbourhood service to meet the needs of an ageing and growing population.

The Trusts are launching an ambitious transition plan, to create a successful and effective Group from April 2026, and the programme will need a dynamic programme team of passionate, forward-thinking leaders to drive this vision. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, love turning strategy into impact, and want to be part of a transformative journey in NHS care, we want you on board.

*Interviews will be held on 24/10/2025*

Reporting into the Director of Strategy & Partnerships, your responsibilities will include:

  • Provide project management leadership and expertise to this important, high profile programme, working closely with the Trust Boards executives and non-executives, senior leadership teams, together with clinical and operational leads, local system and regional partners.

  • Produce regular, meaningful status updates and reports for a variety of audiences both internal and external, presenting these at meetings where appropriate.
