About the Role
At Nuffield Health, we're committed to building a healthier nation. As our National NHS Services Manager (Business Development), you will play a key role in driving NHS activity, revenue growth and operational excellence across our hospital network. Working closely with hospital leaders, NHS stakeholders and central support teams, you will provide expert guidance on NHS commissioning, contracting and performance, helping identify growth opportunities, improve processes and strengthen strategic NHS partnerships across the charity.

Your responsibilities will include driving NHS activity, revenue growth and market share across our hospitals by using data and insight to identify opportunities and supporting local hospital teams to deliver results. You will support annual NHS commissioning and contracting cycles, including contract negotiations, governance and risk management. Additionally, you will provide expert advice on NHS commissioning, contracting, payment systems and operational best practice.

You will also support the development and implementation of NHS data quality standards and performance reporting to enable effective decision-making and revenue optimisation. Building and maintaining strong relationships with NHS England, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), NHS Trusts and other key stakeholders will be essential to support partnership growth. You will contribute to national projects, bids and tenders, ensuring successful implementation across hospital sites. Collaboration with operational, finance, revenue, IT and data teams to improve NHS processes and deliver positive commercial outcomes will be a key part of your role.

This is an exciting opportunity to influence Nuffield Health’s NHS strategy nationally while supporting hospitals to grow and strengthen their NHS partnerships locally. You will join a purpose-driven organisation where your expertise will help increase access to high-quality healthcare and directly support our charitable mission to build a healthier nation. By expanding and strengthening NHS partnerships, you will play a key role in helping Nuffield Health reinvest in services, health and wellbeing programmes, and initiatives that improve the health of communities across the UK.

We want you to love coming to work, feeling healthy, happy and valued. That’s why we offer a benefits package including free gym membership, health assessments, retail discounts and pension options. At Nuffield Health, we take care of what’s important to you.
