Social Value Strategic Advisor for Healthier Futures
Notice Description
An external advisor is required to provide expert strategic advice on integrating social value into the Healthier Futures Programme. This includes aligning with national and local priorities, supporting procurement and delivery models, and ensuring compliance with the Social Value Act and NHS sustainability goals. The programme has an established organisational Social Value Plan that sets out its long-term commitments, priority outcomes, and measurement approach. The new build hospital represents a major opportunity to implement, enhance, and evidence these commitments in a place-based, inclusive, and measurable way. The Trust is seeking a Social Value Strategic Advisor to support the effective delivery, coordination, assurance, and reporting of social value outcomes across the lifecycle of the hospital project, ensuring alignment with organisational priorities, local need, and statutory requirements. There will be an initial contract for a period of 3 years from 01 July 2026, with a further option to extend for a further 3 years to the remainder of the programme in 2032.
