Healthcare at Moorhouse
Our Health & Care sector plays a central role in designing and delivering transformation across the NHS. We work with organisations across the UK health system, including national bodies, ICSS and providers to solve their most critical challenges – including improving operational performance, redesigning care pathways, delivering digital and data‑enabled transformation, and defining operating models and supporting organisation‑wide change.
We combine national-level strategy experience with hands‑on delivery in provider settings, focusing on three core areas aligned to NHS 10-year plan priorities:
- Health Service Optimisation: Operational, performance and financial improvement across acute, community and primary care settings.
- Digital, Data and AI transformation: to support improved decision‑making, productivity and performance improvement across care systems.
- Health System Strategy and Design: Commissioning and system strategy and design, helping ICSS and national bodies redesign care pathways, allocate resources effectively, and drive system‑wide transformation.
We have long‑standing partnerships with many of the largest NHS organisations on programmes ranging from system‑wide change to targeted improvement work, helping them maximise value, strengthen resilience and improve outcomes for patients and populations.
Responsibilities
Why join the Health & Care team at Moorhouse?
Our Health & Care team brings together a mix of former operational leaders and clinicians with NHS change experts. We work as an integrated team, combining complementary strengths in finance, strategy, delivery, data, and frontline transformation, with working at Moorhouse enabling you to build and broaden your NHS skillset by collaborating with experts across multiple disciplines. Our delivery‑led consulting model means we work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with client teams, embedding ourselves in services to deliver measurable results rather than solely producing recommendations.
We are seeking a Manager to help contribute to and develop our Health & Care consulting portfolio, playing a key role in finance‑focused engagements, shaping and owning supporting and evolving our go‑to‑market propositions, and contributing directly to the strategic direction of the practice.
This role combines hands‑on delivery with the opportunity to innovate, build client relationships, and influence the future of how Moorhouse partners with the NHS on financial improvement and value‑for‑money transformation.
Through this role, you will have the opportunity to:
- Lead and shape high-impact transformation programmes – deliver impactful and meaningful programmes for NHS commissioners and providers that improve outcomes, system performance, and value for money.
- Learn from a highly experienced team of consultants with deep expertise in healthcare and years of experience shaping, selling and delivering consulting services across the NHS.
- Take responsibility for delivery with support– take ownership for end‑to‑end project delivery, client relationships, and team leadership, with support and sponsorship from our senior leadership team.
- Develop your profile – contribute to thought leadership and sector strategy, helping shape how Moorhouse partners with the NHS and the wider system.
- Contribute to and develop Health & Care propositions in your chosen area – develop go‑to‑market offers that respond to system challenges, regulatory priorities, and emerging technologies.
- Support business growth – identify and develop new opportunities, nurture client relationships, originate and lead bids that expand our project and client base. The opportunity for accelerated career progression is based on performance and impact, not tenure.
- Lead and guide others – lead delivery teams and act as a line manager to junior members of the team, helping develop our people as well as our business.
- Join a collaborative and supportive community – be part of a supportive, ambitious and connected team that values fun, collaboration and wellbeing, with regular socials, regular strategy half day events and quarterly Moorhouse “escapes”.
