Job description
Job responsibilities
The post holder will ensure that the UHB's strategic planning processes are appropriate and support the achievement of the UHB's strategic objectives. Detailed analysis of the impact of internal and external standards and targets on service planning and delivery will be necessary. Leading discussions on actions required to meet targets is an essential part of the role.
The post holder will provide specialist planning expertise to support the development of clinical pathways, working with Strategy groups to ensure robust service strategies, delivery plans and pathways are developed and implemented within the strategic context of the UHB's 1-3 year Integrated Plan. In doing so, the post holder will work with Strategy groups to ensure that appropriate delivery mechanisms are in place, underpinned by sound governance and performance management arrangements.
The post holder will apply standard corporate processes in developing business cases, option appraisals, funding opportunities, action plans, service level agreements and other planning and service development outputs as necessary. The post holder will support the Deputy Director of Strategy and Partnerships in meeting UHB and Directorate objectives to ensure progress is made towards achieving the UHB vision.

The post holder will also engage effectively with external stakeholders, including other statutory and voluntary organisations and local communities in planning services and further develop partnership working.
