This is a fantastic development opportunity for someone looking to broaden their experience, build relationships across NICE, and gain exposure to a wide range of operational and coordination activities.

The WLA is a significant programme for the NICE strategy and forms part of the 10-year plan, therefore this is a unique opportunity to be involved in a high-profile programme for NICE. The team works across the organisation to ensure our guidance is useful and useable; helping to drive smarter spending across the NHS.
You’ll support the team by coordinating steering groups, stakeholder panels and leadership meetings, managing meeting logistics, preparing agendas and papers, responding to member enquiries, and capturing key decisions and actions. You’ll also help maintain programme governance through records management, progress reporting, RAID log administration, and the upkeep of Teams and SharePoint resources.
