Dorset is entering the first year of an ambitious two-year programme to create the catalyst for left-shift change and build the foundations for Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs)
The development of Integrated Neighbourhood Teams is a complex and emergent, outcome-based transformation programme. This means that while there is clarity as to ‘what’ needs to be achieved in terms of impact, much of the ‘how’ will continue to emerge as we work through the programme.

We welcome applications from staff across all detailed organisations.
Applications from candidates that require current Skilled worker sponsorship to work in the UK are unfortunately are ineligible to apply for this position.
We are looking for an adaptable, strategic thinking, individual to join the programme and lead the monitoring and evaluation of the implementation and impact of the programme.
The successful candidate will need to embrace a dynamic and flexible approach, as the programme evolves maintaining a clear focus on the intended benefits and ensuring programme delivery is aligned to the realisation of the intended impact.
This requires the adoption a complexity aware approach, capturing learning and using data, information and insight to measure success, inform course correction decisions and ensure delivery of the required programme outcomes and impact.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone with the ability to blend PMO and analytical skills with fresh ideas, think critically, and explore innovative ways to deliver the expected benefits of INTs across Dorset.
This post is a member of the INT Programme Senior Leadership Team, responsible for overseeing the successful delivery of the benefits set out in the NIT business case.
