  • To be jointly responsible for delivery of key pathways and initiatives in the DHACT programme
  • Joint ownership of strategic vision for the programme and service

To achieve the outcomes, the strategic change partner must;

  • Conduct and support engagement with Greenwich residents, staff and partners to understand, map and document new and to be processes and pathways
  • Build coproduction and codesign into your delivery with us
  • Research and synthesise best practice nationally in the work Greenwich aspires to deliver
