About us
We are a leading consultancy with a purpose to make an enduring impact on health and healthcare. We work with leaders and frontline teams to improve health, transform healthcare, drive adoption of innovation and create value through investment.
Our consultancy serves the entire healthcare sector, from payors and providers of care, to life science companies, health tech and sector suppliers and health investors. We provide end-to-end services, from strategy through implementation, accelerated by data, digital and AI.
We shape opinion through evidence-based thought leadership on key issues affecting health. With unmatched ability to access and use health data, our consultants are a driving force for delivering positive and meaningful change.
Our strategic intent
We are focused on building the leading consulting company dedicated to health. We serve the entire healthcare sector, including healthcare systems (providers, payors and regulators), life sciences (pharmaceuticals, biotech, devices and diagnostics), health technology, health investors, and the wider supplier landscape.
We provide end-to-end services, from strategy through implementation, supporting organisations to improve population health and healthcare outcomes. Our work spans strategy and transformation, finance and performance improvement, and delivery accelerated by data, digital and AI. We help clients understand their ambitions, identify opportunities to create value, apply innovation in practice, and deliver sustainable, measurable change.
Our consulting is accelerated by data. With an unmatched ability to access and use health data, we are recognised for our expertise in its safe and responsible application, improving health and healthcare delivery, supporting adoption of innovation, generating evidence, and informing decision-making. Our engineering and data science capabilities underpin our consulting and are also deployed directly with clients, often as part of multidisciplinary teams.
We are building a community of expert consultants who want to operate at the leading edge of the profession and who share a passion for health. Through structured career development from Analyst to Partner, underpinned by apprenticeship, mentorship and formal training, we are cultivating the leaders of the future and supporting individuals to develop distinctive expertise that creates value for our clients.
Our Mission
Our mission is to be invaluable to our clients, supporting them to innovate and make lasting improvements and to build an exceptional company that attracts, develops, and retains a trusted and uniquely talented team.
About the role
This is a rare opportunity to shape the people development function of a fast-growing health consultancy with serious ambitions. Reporting to the Chief People Officer, you will champion our People Strategy and own our performance and development frameworks, with enormous scope to make a difference.
We have developed our People Strategy to support delivery of CF's company strategy, ensuring we are an employer of choice within the sector and an 'irresistible organisation' for our employees. We are committed to delivering 10 days of training per year to all staff through our in-house development programme, supported by external inputs. Our programme draws on the extensive skills and experience of our leadership team and has been accredited as a route to become Chartered Management Consultants. Your role? Spearhead and innovate this offering as we scale.
Our growth ambitions are significant. We have diversified over the past seven years, and the future will likely see us establish additional UK bases and expand internationally. These developments have major implications for how we work and the skills we need – and you will be central to navigating this evolution.

You will be the driving force behind how our people grow, perform, and thrive:

Requirements
We’re not necessarily looking for someone with CIPD qualifications or specific degrees. We want a collaborative, innovative and friendly people professional who loves rolling up their sleeves and jumping into the thick of the action. Someone who is tech savvy, results oriented and delivers work to the highest standards.
Desirable:
Flexible working
Our default is to work in person with our clients, but we also support remote working. Team members can work from home one day per week as standard, and we offer an additional 44 remote working days per year. This allows you to work from home up to two days per week-subject to client needs- or use your allowance in blocks, depending on what works best for you. Office hours are flexible within our core hours of 10am–4pm.
