We are expanding our team to establish a dedicated response function to support the delivery of urgent, high-priority service change across our Collaborative. This role will offer an opportunity to join a focused “team within a team,” working directly with senior leads in a fast-paced, reactive environment.

The post holder will deliver clearly defined tasks at pace, with a strong emphasis on daily and weekly outputs. The role requires a highly responsive, proactive approach, with the ability to prioritise rapidly changing demands and act on direction quickly and effectively.

While working within a supportive and collaborative team, this is a delivery-focused role with clear expectations around performance, accountability, and timely completion of work. This expansion reflects increased operational demand rather than turnover, and the successful candidate will play a key role in helping the team respond to system priorities.

As with all IMPACT roles this post will be offered as a hybrid working arrangement (part home and part office working).

Potential TUPE process.

IMPACT commissioning support hub may potentially be moving through a ‘TUPE’ process to Northamptonshire Healthcare Advanced Foundation Trust in the near future.  There is strong support for a single hub model within the East Midlands, aimed at delivering financial efficiencies, streamlining governance, and reducing variation.  The merger approach will strengthen collaboration and alignment. The merger will not affect fixed term contracts or any changes to required job descriptions advertised.

lease note that this post has been advertised as a part time post, however, full time hours would be considered but this would necessitate the length of the FTC to be reduced from 9 to 6 months.
