The NHS Pay, Employment Services and Industrial Relations Directorate is responsible for policy on national pay and contracts for over a million NHS staff, as well as leading the government response to strikes within the NHS.
It is a high profile, stretching area of work which provides an excellent opportunity to work closely with Ministers, senior officials and a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.
We are committed to creating a great place to work for our colleagues reflecting the society we serve. Diverse perspectives and experiences are critical to our success. We welcome applications from people from all backgrounds with the experience and skills to perform this role.
The post holder will support one of the Senior Policy Managers in the pay team.
The role will primarily focus on managing a commercial contract, which is a key contributor to the Department's development and delivery of NHS workforce policy. As the contract is up for re-procurement this is an exciting opportunity to lead the development of a future service model which delivers on the Department’s priorities.
The successful candidate will also support overall policy development on pay and terms and conditions for medical staff, as well as supporting the Senior Policy Manager to provide evidence to the pay review bodies which make recommendations on the pay of NHS staff.
Given the nature of the Directorate, there may be opportunities to be involved in other workstreams across pay and industrial relations.
