existing and new partnerships with government departments, national agencies, charities, 
business, the NHS and others to deliver this. 

We are seeking an experienced senior leader, an optimist with strategic vision and a high 
degree of intellect who can collaborate with other leaders to design and deliver solutions to 
our most pressing problems in health and wellbeing. The postholder will navigate highly 
complex systems and networks and need to be very politically astute, diplomatic and excel 
at building relationships with trust and integrity.

The Executive Director for Strategy and Partnerships is the second most senior role in 
NASP, with a remit for leadership across the organisation and responsibility to deputise for 
the CEO. The core purpose of the role is to form strong relationships and partnerships with 
leaders from diverse sectors and co-produce strategies and programme plans for joint work.

Sport England and Natural England, and charities such as Independent Age. It includes line 
management responsibilities for staff seconded by partners or employed directly by NASP, 
to deliver partnership plans and priorities. The role includes the strategic leadership of multi
million-pound programmes reporting to government departments (for example working 
closely with DEFRA to lead the Treasury-funded ‘Tackling and preventing mental ill health 
through green social prescribing’ programme). Therefore, a focus on delivery and achieving 
outputs and outcomes is just as important as strategic vision.  

NASP also works internationally and there will be opportunities to travel regularly, for 
example supporting our network of global contacts with events (most recently the Canadian 
International Social Prescribing Conference). 

The ideal candidate will be highly articulate, a persuasive public speaker, with a proven track 
record of delivering complex high impact partnerships which make a measurable impact.
