Senior Product Manager

In the Department of Health and Social Care, we are proud of our purpose – to enable everyone to live more independent, healthier lives for longer. To achieve this, and create a great place to work, we have four values: we are inclusive, we constantly improve, we challenge, and we are agile. If this sounds like an environment you would like to work in, we would love to hear from you.

Adult Social Care (ASC) is at the heart of the Government’s ambitions for public service reform. The ASC Group works across government, local authorities, the NHS and the care sector to support a care system that enables people to live independently, access the right care and support, and experience high-quality, sustainable services. This is an important period for adult social care, with the Prime Minister’s focus on reform and the longer-term ambition for a National Care Service.

Data and digital have a critical role to play in delivering that transformation. Better use of technology and data can help make adult social care easier for people to understand and navigate, reduce unnecessary administrative burden for frontline staff, improve how information is shared and used, and give leaders better evidence to support planning and decision-making. Digital transformation is therefore not simply about introducing new technology.

It is about redesigning services around people’s needs and ensuring that national policy and reform are supported by effective, accessible and user-centred digital services.

Within ASC Group, the Digitising Social Care team is helping to drive this agenda, working to create the conditions for local authorities and care providers to make better use of digital and data while also developing nationally significant products and services. This includes tackling some of the structural challenges that make digital transformation difficult, improving the experience of people interacting with adult social care, and identifying where national action can enable innovation and improvement.

As part of this work, the team is recruiting an exceptional Senior Product Manager to lead delivery of the Adult Social Care Front Door. The Front Door represents an opportunity to improve how people first find, understand and access information and support relating to adult social care. The successful candidate will play a leading role in turning an ambitious policy vision into a service that works for users, bringing together policy, digital and delivery expertise and helping shape a significant part of the government’s wider programme of reform.
