The SPCP will be responsible for ensuring that each programme has a comprehensive strategic workforce plan, that dovetails with any divisional workforce plans, and includes a workforce development plan, ensuring plans clearly articulate future workforce models, transition pathways and measurable outcomes.

They will provide expertise to facilitate clinical leads in effective organisation design, that enables the delivery of the future clinical model / strategy.

Working closely with the Clinical Lead for Mental Health Workforce, they will use a broad range of workforce data and performance metrics to inform this process, apply evidence-based workforce planning methodologies, analyse and interpret complex workforce datasets (e.g. ESR, productivity, agency usage) to inform decision-making and utilise recognised frameworks (CIPD, NHSE, HEE) to ensure best practice and benchmarking.

The strategic workforce plans will consider alternative skills mixes, new and advanced roles, flexible and multidisciplinary workforce models, partnerships with voluntary and community organisations and digital opportunities. This will include a clear workforce development plan that details how skills and capabilities will be developed to meet future needs and is developed with input and support from Learning and Development colleagues and professional leads.

Workforce Change, Engagement and communication

A critical part of the SPCPs role will be to ensure that transformation changes are approached in an inclusive, engaging and compassionate way, reinforcing the Great Place to Work strategic priority and principles.

Using an Organisational Development informed approach, tools and expertise, the changes will maximise engagement from the workforce and embrace co-design principles, taking into account workplace culture, history and norms, and using data to identify risks and hotspots.

The SPCP will lead on a workforce engagement and communications plan that ensures the transformation changes are designed, adopted and sustained effectively and in a timely way. This will include coaching leaders and line managers in progressive engagement and communication approaches, and designing engagement events and communications, undertaking stakeholder analyses, etc. They will work closely with the Great Place to Work programme leads, the Associate Director for Retention and Organisational Development, and the Communications teams on this.

The SCPC will work with divisional leads to ensure that there is a commitment to deliver equality and inclusiveness in all aspects of service line activity including service provision and the approach to the process of change, ensuring completion of equality impact assessments and addressing disparities.

The SPCP will also be responsible for ensuring that transformation plans are realistic and legally compliant in terms of workforce structural changes, redundancy and consultation processes, working closely with HRBP teams and engaging their expertise and support on this, and working proactively with Trades Unions under positive partnership working principles, thereby reducing the risk of adverse employee relations cases and tribunal processes.
