Purpose of This Role: 
NASP is a highly ambitious charity, founded by government and working across diverse 
sectors to improve healthcare in England and across the world through the development of 
social prescribing. This is a senior leadership role to shape our future strategy and develop 
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

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. 
You will need to be comfortable advocating for social prescribing at the highest level; to 
government ministers and officials, CEOs of large organisations and global partners such as 
Movember, Amazon and the World Health Organization.
