Trosolwg o'r swydd
This is an opportunity for an experienced product leader to join an established programme bringing data-driven products to bear on some of the most important and complex challenges facing the NHS. These include improving the use of data across the health and care system, driving productivity improvements, and supporting the return to constitutional standards.
This is a business-critical role that supports the delivery of the FDP Core 6, which underpins NHS Board, Ministerial and 10 Year Health Plan commitments to improve how data is used across the NHS, providing productivity improvements and supporting the return to constitutional standards.
Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd
The post holder will be Head of Product for the Federated Data Platform (FDP) programme, leading product strategy and delivery across their workstream and ensuring key stakeholder alignment throughout. You will work with senior stakeholders across NHS England, DHSC, trusts and integrated care systems to understand needs, identify priorities, and translate them into practical, deliverable products that improve outcomes for patients, clinicians, managers and care staff.
Gweithio i'n sefydliad
NHS England has a wide range of statutory functions, responsibilities and regulatory powers. These are focused on supporting the wider NHS to deliver high quality care, as well as doing those things that are best done once for the whole NHS.
Our staff bring expertise across clinical, operational, commissioning, technology, data science, cyber security, software engineering, education, and commercial specialisms — enabling us to design and deliver high-quality NHS services.
In March 2025, the Government announced that NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care will increasingly merge functions, ultimately leading to NHS England being fully integrated into the department.
If you currently work within the NHS and if successful at interview, we will initiate an Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR). This retrieves key data from your current or previous NHS employer to support onboarding, including competency status, Continuous Service Dates (CSD), and annual leave entitlement. You may opt out at any stage of the process.
Colleagues with a contractual office base are expected to spend, on average, at least 40% of their time working in our offices.
Staff recruited from outside the NHS will usually be appointed at the bottom of the pay band.
We cannot offer visa sponsorship for any vacancies.
