Senior Transformation Manager Care Technology

A hybrid working model, with time split between council sites in Richmond and Wandsworth and working from home. We have an exciting opportunity to lead the strategic management of care technology services across Richmond and Wandsworth. This is a pivotal role driving innovation in adult social care through technology-enabled solutions. The digital team was formed in 2021 to implement our digital vision and ensure digital technology is embedded in adult social care.

But we have ambitions to build on the progress made to continue to grow our use of technology and modernise the Councils' Telecare service.

You will:

• Oversee the mobilisation and contract management of our new care technology services contract ensuring agreed outcomes and benefits are achieved.
• Manage the relationship with our new strategic partner to drive forward innovation through the new contract.
• Work with operational teams, commissioners, care providers, and NHS partners to develop care technology pathways.
• Provide effective, motivational leadership and staff management.
