Job Description
Salary: £57,528 per annum
Contract: Permanent, full time
Location: Greater London
About the role
This is an exciting opportunity to lead the operational development and delivery of a charity s criminal justice healthcare strategy at a pivotal moment for the organisation. Working closely with the Head of a national listening programme, who leads listening and policy activity in the health sphere, you will take national lead responsibility for shaping, embedding and continuously improving services that sit at the intersection of family support and healthcare within the criminal justice system.
You will bring strategic vision alongside strong operational discipline, working through a matrix-management approach to deliver services that are clinically safe, contractually sound, and genuinely transformational for the people supported.
Key responsibilities
You will lead the design, development, roll-out and delivery of criminal justice healthcare services, including oversight of family link workers, providing consistent and effective leadership through a matrix-management model.
You will review current logic models, propose and embed effective service changes, implement practice guidance and procedures, and optimise programme integrity supported by robust impact data. You will ensure services are safely and effectively aligned and integrated with clinical services led by strategic and operational partners, and that they are delivered in line with contractual, regulatory and budgetary requirements.
Working collaboratively with senior leaders, clinical healthcare partners, service commissioners, professional colleagues and experts by experience, you will deliver sustainable systemic service improvements and contribute to wider system change. You will monitor and evaluate the impact and outcomes of services, using findings to drive continuous improvement in practice and delivery, and advise on the operational viability, feasibility, risks and implementation of key business objectives, ensuring these objectives are met.
In close partnership with the Head of the organisation s listening programme, you will strengthen the links between listening activity and improved patient outcomes.
You will also contribute to the organisation s overall corporate strategy through close involvement in organisation-wide, policy-focused and operational projects, and through involvement in bids, tenders and grant applications. From time to time, you will be called upon to represent the organisation at external meetings, speak at industry events, and present reports to trustee board or committee meetings.
About you
The organisation is looking for a senior leader with significant experience in criminal justice healthcare, prison-based services, or a closely related field, who combines strategic thinking with hands-on operational expertise. You will have a track record of leading services through change, managing complex stakeholder relationships across clinical and non-clinical partners, and using data and evidence to drive service improvement. You will be confident operating in a matrix environment, comfortable representing your organisation at a senior level, and deeply committed to the people and families supported.
