We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated senior transformation manager to help us realise our system vision for discharge.

This will be achieved by developing collaborative relationships with all system partners including the ICB, Local Authority, Acute Care Leads and Voluntary Community Sector Leads to integrate pathways of care.
