You will bring experience of leading and influencing change through policy implementation, as well as the ability to formulate long-term strategic plans. Working as a member of the Senior Management Team in the Planned Care Improvement and Recovery team offers the opportunity for a talented individual to further develop their skills, experience, knowledge at a senior level within NHS Wales. You will also gain further experience of working at all levels of the health and social care system, including working closely with Welsh Government colleagues, national programme boards, change programmes and policy development.
