• Proven experience drafting high‑quality outputs, such as strategies, business cases, feasibility studies and investment appraisals, tailored to healthcare and NHS contexts.
• A collaborative mindset, able to work effectively within multi‑disciplinary teams across Archus and partner organisations to deliver integrated solutions.
• Commercial awareness and a contribution to business growth, through fee‑earning delivery, supporting bids and tenders, developing case studies, and sharing market intelligence.
• A commitment to developing your specialist expertise, bringing insight into emerging models of care, system transformation and capital development, and sharing best practice with colleagues.
• Line management or mentoring experience, supporting the development and performance of consultants within the Strategic Advisory team.
