The Deputy Director for Large-Scale Change will lead major transformation and improvement programmes across Cambridge University Hospitals, helping deliver strategic, operational and service-wide change. Requirements are likely to include substantial senior-level experience managing complex programmes in the NHS or a similarly regulated organisation, strong knowledge of change methodology, benefits realisation, governance, financial planning and performance improvement. The successful candidate should be an influential communicator who can engage clinicians, managers, patients and external partners, manage competing priorities and translate strategy into measurable results. The role requires political awareness, resilience, sound judgement and the ability to lead multidisciplinary teams through significant organisational change.

Services cover emergency and elective care, cancer, transplantation, neurosciences, maternity, paediatrics and many other specialties.

The United Kingdom offers extensive opportunities in healthcare, technology, research, finance, engineering and public services, with particularly strong demand around Cambridge, London, Oxford and other regional centres. British culture is diverse and generally values punctuality, privacy, politeness and work-life balance. Lifestyle options range from vibrant cities and historic towns to countryside, coastline and national parks. International applicants should check whether their role qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa; NHS employers may provide sponsorship, but eligibility, salary thresholds and registration requirements apply. Healthcare professionals may need professional registration before starting work. Relocation costs, rental deposits and commuting expenses can be high, especially in Cambridge and southeast England. The UK has reliable public transport, the NHS for eligible residents and a multicultural population, although weather is changeable. A UK bank account, tax number and suitable accommodation are usually needed after arrival.
