Workforce and Organisational Development Director

Job at University of Leeds in Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS2

The National Institute for Health and Social Care (NIHR) funds, enables and delivers world-leading health and social care research. The work of the NIHR is directed by the Chief Scientific Adviser at the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), who is also NIHR’s Chief Executive Officer, and by the Senior Management Team of DHSC's Science Research and Evidence (SRE) Directorate. 

The NIHR Research Delivery Network (RDN) launched in October 2024 and supports the country’s world-class research system to deliver high quality research. Through a network of 12 Regional Research Delivery Networks (RRDNs) and a coordinating centre (the RDNCC), the RDN operates as a single organisation across England. Through a unified approach, the RDN balances regional context, expertise and leadership with national coordination and strategy involving government policymakers. 

As part of the NIHR RDN national leadership team, this high-profile national role will provide visible, dynamic and effective senior leadership, direction and oversight for workforce and organisational development. You will shape and lead the development and delivery of inclusion, workforce and organisational development across the NIHR RDN. You will lead the development of a highly-skilled professional workforce and a culture of continuous improvement, shared learning, best practice and inclusivity. 

You will be responsible for embedding inclusion throughout NIHR RDN culture and practice, for driving innovation, continuous improvement, shared learning and best practice, and for providing a workforce with excellence in knowledge, skills and professional practice. This role requires knowledge and skills in both strategic thinking and planning, and in the effective operational implementation of workforce and organisational development. 

You will work alongside the other Directors as a high performing team to lead the organisation-wide shift in ways of working and culture that is required to ensure the network functions as a single organisation with a shared purpose and vision across England, as well as leading your own Directorate team through the period of transformation and beyond. The NIHR RDN is multifaceted, diverse and ambitious, and you must be able to work flexibly and effectively in a developing organisation, to manage change and to support others to deliver measurable results that make the NIHR RDN vision a reality.

This national role requires substantial national travel and may require some international travel.
