You will work in the Department of Health Digital and channel strategy branch, as part of a small team delivering the commitments set out in the December 2012 Digital Strategy.
The digital strategy responds to the Government Digital Strategy and focuses on 5 broad areas of digital transformation:

4. Improving our day-to-day organisational efficiency
5. Leading the health and care system towards a health information revolution
You will help lead transformative culture change across the department, championing the digital agenda. You will deliver a programme of work to ensure that the department can become a digital first department of state, equipped to lead a digital first health and care system. You will work with a dedicated project manager, reporting to the head of digital.
You will have the credibility to build excellent relationships with senior staff across the department as well as across government and the health and care system. You will have the practical knowledge and experience to deliver sustained change in the organisation.
You will be familiar with the drive towards “digital by default” across government, and you will have experience working on programmes and projects that have delivered real change.
