The role will ensure the delivery of identified benefits and KPIs as set out in our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Strategy.
Integral to the role is representing Sirona by working in partnership with other BNSSG providers including the VCSE sector and the Locality Partnerships. There is a requirement to attend a significant number of system-wide meetings and the occasional requirement to deputise for the Head of Specialist Services.
