Director of Corporate Services

Community Health Partnerships (CHP)

Competitive Salary

National with offices in London, Manchester (HQ) and Birmingham

Community Health Partnerships (CHP) is at the heart of transforming the primary and community health estate across England. As we enter a defining period for the future of the LIFT portfolio, our role as a critical enabler of neighbourhood based, integrated care has never been more important. We are seeking an exceptional Director of Corporate Services to join our Executive Team and help lead CHP through the next phase of organisational transformation and strategic delivery.

CHP is a DHSC owned NHS company with a clear purpose: to shape the care environment for locally based services and to support the NHS to deliver high quality, sustainable, place based care. Our modern, fit for purpose buildings are designated as core assets for local care delivery, supporting Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) as they redesign services around population need. As we implement our transformation programme and lead the national Securing the Future programme for LIFT assets, this role will be instrumental in driving forward our vision, capability and organisational culture.

As Director of Corporate Services, you will oversee a wide portfolio encompassing governance and business assurance, risk, corporate planning, people, communications and legal/statutory management. This includes responsibility for Board and Committee planning, corporate reporting, and ensuring robust governance frameworks that support CHP's strategic and regulatory commitments.

You will play a key role in shaping CHP's organisational capability as we modernise how we work. This includes driving forward our transformation and strengthening the systems, culture and workforce needed to deliver high performance, accountability and collaboration. The role is central to coordinating CHP's annual business plan, KPIs and performance reporting, ensuring our corporate core is aligned to the ambitions set out in the Five Year Strategy.

The postholder will support our Securing the Future programme, one of the organisation's most significant national initiatives, supporting long term planning for the LIFT assets as they approach the end of term and ensuring they remain key to neighbourhood level, place based care delivery. This work positions CHP as a strategic leader, advisor and estate expert across ICSs, DHSC, NHSE and private sector partners.

To thrive in this role, you will need to be a confident, strategic leader - someone who brings strong governance expertise, excellent judgement, and the ability to influence at Executive and Board level. You will lead high performing teams, foster a culture of excellence and inclusivity, and demonstrate clarity, pace and resilience in navigating complexity. Above all, you will be motivated by the opportunity to help CHP strengthen its organisational foundations while playing a part in shaping the future of local health infrastructure.

If you're energised by meaningful impact and committed to driving organisational excellence in support of better community based care, this is a rare and compelling leadership opportunity.
