The Behavioural Programmes Unit (BPU) in the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) delivers the Better Health behaviour change programme, covering a range of issues from smoking to mental health and obesity. We develop insight-led behaviour change programmes combining campaigns, partnerships, data and technology to encourage people to make healthy changes. Better Health provides the only national NHS wellbeing digital apps, the core wellbeing support to users on NHS.UK and advanced email programmes to change behaviour.

The Strategy and Planning team are the engine of BPU, leading the business planning process, developing the strategies for activity and evaluating activity in order to drive improvement and demonstrate impact.

We are looking for an ambitious and experienced Head of Strategy, Evaluation, Data and Insight who can lead the team delivering the strategies for our health behaviour change programmes, harnessing the wealth of data we have to enhance the quality and impact of activity.

You will deliver both continuous improvement and step change in our approaches to this work as we further integrate data and analytics skills, behavioural science thinking and embed new evaluation approaches and skills throughout the Behavioural Programmes Unit.

We are looking for a rare combination of skills including excellent research, data and analysis experience which will be brought to bear as powerful insight applied to ignite our work and as evaluation to evidence its impact. You will build an in-depth insight into people’s lives and use behavioural science to understand how people behave and how to influence them to live healthier lives. You will also use research and insight to identify the levers that behaviour change marketing can pull in order to create change. Addressing health inequalities and tackling disparities underpins all activity, including reviewing how what we do will impact health inequalities.

Leadership in this role is key. You will lead a team and you will need to influence widely across DHSC and cross government and have the gravitas and credibility to inspire confidence in your work. You will work with internal and external stakeholders, from academics, and behaviour change experts to policy makers and agencies, to ensure that evidence, rigour and behavioural science are at the heart of what we do.
