About the role 

 The Identity and Access Management portfolio within NHS England’s Technology, Digital and Data Directorate is responsible for operating several nationally significant, mission-critical live services, including Care Identity Services, NHS login and the Data Security and Protection Toolkit, alongside transformation programmes such as NHS Single Sign-On and Transforming People Services Digital Solutions. 

This Head of Delivery role is focused on the Transforming People Services Digital Solutions programme. As part of the NHS 10-Year Plan, NHS England has embarked on the Transforming People Services initiative, which aims to modernise Human Resources and Organisational Development (HR & OD) by standardising and digitising routine transactions. This will enable HR and OD professionals to focus on strategic priorities such as employee wellbeing, organisational culture and workforce planning, while delivering a more intuitive and timely service experience for staff. 

Transforming People Services Digital Solutions will provide a digital front door and single interface for staff to access HR services. The service will use modern technologies to deliver an AI-enabled digital platform that will support the full employment lifecycle.

Our Heads of Delivery: 

Will provide core leadership capability for delivery management. 

A Head of Delivery is responsible for leading teams to deliver value across a suite of related products or services within a portfolio in a very complex environment. The post holder may also lead the community of practice for this role and build capability and excellence across the NHS England delivery teams. You will be part of a multi-disciplinary senior leadership team across the portfolio. 

 

Gweithio i'n sefydliad

NHS England has a wide range of statutory functions, responsibilities and regulatory powers. These are focused on supporting the wider NHS to deliver high quality care, as well as doing those things that are best done once for the whole NHS.

Our staff bring expertise across clinical, operational, commissioning, technology, data science, cyber security, software engineering, education, and commercial specialisms — enabling us to design and deliver high-quality NHS services.

In March 2025, the Government announced that NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care will increasingly merge functions, ultimately leading to NHS England being fully integrated into the department. 

If you currently work within the NHS and if successful at interview, we will initiate an Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR). This retrieves key data from your current or previous NHS employer to support onboarding, including competency status, Continuous Service Dates (CSD), and annual leave entitlement. You may opt out at any stage of the process.

Colleagues with a contractual office base are expected to spend, on average, at least 40% of their time working in our offices.

Staff recruited from outside the NHS will usually be appointed at the bottom of the pay band.

We cannot offer visa sponsorship for any vacancies.
