You will also build relationships with NHS partners, GP practices, local authorities and community organisations to improve access to screening, particularly for underserved communities.

The role includes supporting staff recruitment and management, coordinating operational meetings, maintaining appropriate governance and safety standards, and identifying opportunities to develop or expand the service.

This is a hands-on project leadership role requiring strong organisation, communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work independently and travel across the locality.
