Can you bring calm, clarity and connection when health services are under pressure?

As a Senior Manager in Central East’s System Coordination Centre (SCC), you will help turn a complex, changing operational picture into coordinated action that supports safe patient care.

Working with Trusts across Central East, you will bring partners together to understand pressures, tackle barriers to patient flow and agree practical responses. From ambulance handover delays to hospital capacity and discharge challenges, your work will connect individual services with the wider system response.

We are looking for someone who combines sound operational judgement with excellent relationship skills. You will be able to interpret information, ask the right questions and influence action while remaining calm and solution-focused.

Alongside managing today’s pressures, you will help us anticipate tomorrow’s challenges using data, learning and forecasting to strengthen preparedness and improve how the SCC works.

This role is home-based with occasional travel to ICB offices and hospitals across the Central East area. Two posts are available with different shift patterns, working across the 8am - 6pm seven day a week service operating times.

• Coordinate responses to pressure: support escalation, surge and incident responses, ensuring risks reach the right decision-makers promptly.

• Connect services and people: work with hospital, ambulance, community, mental health and wider partners to address barriers and support safe patient flow.

• Look ahead: contribute to winter and surge planning, using trends and forecasting to identify opportunities for earlier intervention.

• Provide clear assurance: produce accurate situation reports and briefings for senior leaders and NHS England.

• Improve how we work: develop SCC processes, digital tools and use of data, while providing supportive leadership to colleagues and sharing learning across the system.
