The Northern Care Alliance (NCA) is seeking an exceptional RAAC Programme Director to lead one of the most significant estate transformation programmes in the organisation's history.

With substantial capital investment and a national mandate to remove Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) from NHS buildings by 2035, this programme presents a rare opportunity to reshape and modernise major parts of our healthcare estate.

As RAAC Programme Director, you'll lead a complex, multi-site redevelopment portfolio, overseeing the safe removal of RAAC while maintaining continuity of clinical services.
You'll shape programme strategy, drive delivery and performance, manage risk, and provide clear assurance at every stage.

This is infrastructure leadership at scale within the NCA, a role offering significant influence, accountability, and the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy.

If you're an experienced senior leader with a proven track record of delivering major capital programmes in complex
environments, we'd love to hear from you.

Let’s re-cap our recruitment figures for February!

✅ 100% of new starters rated recruitment support as ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ for the third month running!

We’re proud to share that our time to hire has reached a record low, with an average of just under 15 days from conditional offer to confirmed start date. This means all successful candidates (across all professions) have been able to secure a start date within just three weeks of their interview. 🤩

💬 One health care assistant told us: “I found the recruitment team to be professional, efficient, and supportive throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and timely, and I was kept informed at every stage of my application and pre-employment checks.”

Record Breaking Recruitment Success! 🌟

Resourcing Administrator Poman Chan and Senior Resourcing Officer Sharron Entwistle have set new recruitment records by securing confirmed start dates within two hours of issuing offer letters.

Poman supports our highvolume nursing and midwifery recruitment pipeline, while Sharron leads on estates and facilities recruitment. Both areas are fastpaced and complex, yet the team continue to deliver exceptional results.

During their introduction calls, Poman and Sharron were able to agree start dates immediately and clearly guide candidates through the next steps of the recruitment process.

For context:
📌 The average time to book a start date at the NCA is 13.5 days
📌 Nationally across the NHS, it is 27 days

Sharron confirmed a start date in just 58 minutes, and Poman was able to fast track a start date for his candidate so they could begin in role 2 weeks after their interview date!

Achieving this in under a day is an outstanding accomplishment and reflects the team’s commitment to providing a smooth, efficient experience for candidates and hiring managers.

A fantastic achievement and a testament to the dedication and service excellence across our resourcing team. Well done both! 👏

Kindness goes a long way 💛

This week, our Recruitment team have been celebrating Random Acts of Kindness through small gestures, supportive teamwork, and simple acts that make a big difference. From lending a hand during busy days to sharing encouraging words (and even a few sweet treats!) the team has shown how powerful kindness can be in the workplace.

These moments aren’t just feel-good extras, they’re part of what helps us deliver great service, collaborate effectively and continually improve the way we work. By supporting each other, we strengthen our culture, fuel our targets and enhance the experience we provide to every candidate, colleague and hiring manager.

That teamwork is what makes us the quickest in Greater Manchester, progressing each vacancy from advert to application and guiding candidates efficiently through to checks complete. When we work together, we achieve more.

Growing Our Leaders: Isma’s Apprenticeship Journey ✨

Here at the NCA, we are committed to growing confident, adaptable leaders at every level.

Our leadership apprenticeships provide unique development opportunities that equip colleagues with the skills to lead through change and shape the future of healthcare.

Isma, a patient pathway coordinator in gastroenterology, recently completed the NCA Frontline Leadership Level 3 Apprenticeship to strengthen her decision‑making and strategic thinking.

Over the 16‑month programme, she developed practical tools to motivate teams, navigate complex challenges, and shift from a reactive to a proactive leadership style.

Reflecting on her experience, Isma said: “This apprenticeship has given me new confidence. I feel like I have increased my self-awareness, can manage differing opinions professionally, and lead with greater confidence. I feel ready to take on any challenge or change.”

Now looking ahead to mentoring and coaching others, Isma’s journey highlights how our internal apprenticeships are growing leaders for the future.
