  * 

    Establish a clear programme plan, milestones, dependencies and governance arrangements.

  * 

    Engage with Boards, Executive Directors, senior leaders, staff representatives and other key stakeholders.

  * 

    Ensure that the statutory responsibilities and accountabilities of both NHS organisations are maintained.

  * 

    Provide strategic governance advice to senior leaders and decision-making bodies.

  * 

    Support the transition to the agreed Group Governance structure.

    A proven record of developing and implementing complex governance structures.

  * 

    Experience leading organisational change, consultation and service redesign.
