An exciting opportunity has arisen to develop your quality improvement and programme management skills. You will gain relevant experience to support career progression within improvement roles in the Shifting the Balance of Care portfolio. The team works with external and internal partners to deliver a range of quality improvement and implementation programmes that help health and social care services enable people to spend less time in hospital through:
