📋 Description

• We are excited about the future of public services, and partner with health and local authorities to deliver meaningful transformation at pace that has a tangible positive impact on the people they serve. Our consulting teams work at the heart of public services to improve experiences and outcomes for people, and reduce spend by delivering the right care in the right place. We will be typically working on either an intense diagnostic or on multi-year, multi-million-pound transformation programmes with the guarantee of a delivery outcome to our clients. This can be for example building new services and ways of working, improving hospital flow, improving care pathways to maximise independence, or making the shift to proactive preventative approaches. • It is crucial that we understand the client fully to identify the biggest opportunity for improvement, design the right solutions and work hand-in-hand with the client to implement these in a way that is sustainable. We work where our client works which can often mean working away from home during the week. • As a Lead Consultant, you will be responsible for the delivery of workstreams typically delivering value of ~£2m to the client. You will be designing solutions, identifying the right KPIs for yourself and your team, and driving continuous improvement. You will have productive mid-level client relationships that help to deliver excellent results. You will be at the heart of driving results, getting the best out of both your team and the client. • The role is incredibly varied but would typically cover, but not be limited to: • · Managing a small team of consultants (no more than 4) through advanced analysis and modelling to identify the biggest opportunities, and then leading your team and client to deliver them • · Reviewing the proposed design for a workstream as created by the Principal Consultant or Business Manager in your programme • · Working closely with programme leads to ensure your workstream KPIs are aligned to client organisational outcomes and wider goals • · Aligning your team and client to measurable KPIs through design and implementation of effective governance that embeds a culture of continuous progress review day to day that enables successful delivery • · Working on site, day to day with your client counterparts to review progress and problem solve to drive performance up, directly or through your teams, building your client's capability • · Creating a clear, compelling story for stakeholders - from frontline managers to the senior managers – and working with programme leads to develop this for the senior client stakeholders to remove blockers to progress • · Proactively escalating risks, and supporting with the adjustment of resource and commercial plans to keep the programme on track • Successful recruitment will see you hired into our Public Cluster. During your onboarding that chosen cluster will commit to scheduling you into the right client programmes with the right support to adapt to Newton’s core approach to programme delivery. Once you are fully onboarded there will be opportunities to work more broadly across our other markets in line with business needs.
