We’re proud to have a committed, highly engaged workforce, as shown by our employee engagement rating, which puts us comfortably above the charity benchmark and we want to attract the brightest and the best to help us beat this condition and change society for the better.
We are looking for an experienced strategic leader in health services influencing at a local and national level to lead a major new Fracture Liaison Service implementation programme to develop our existing local support offer into a systematic, national brokering effort which can be delivered at scale.
Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) are the world standard for preventing further life changing fractures once a person has suffered their first broken bone.

This is an exciting new role to lead our work to support the roll out of universal, high quality FLS, preventing 74,000 fractures over the next five years, including 31,000 life-threatening hip fractures.
You will develop and manage an ambitious programme to influence and support the implementation of new FLS across the UK, developing and rolling out a major new FLS implementation programme to achieve 100% FLS coverage in England by 2030 ensuring FLS meet recognised quality standards.
Working with Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), and Health Boards, you will use data and analysis to make the case for FLS to local commissioners, providing the support and tools local clinical leaders need to secure agreement for implementing FLS in their area.
You will also lead the charity’s work with all nations around monitoring FLS delivery, and supporting improvement of existing FLS, to achieve recognized standards of good practice to achieve our aim of enabling access to high quality FLS for everyone regardless of where they live.
