Job Summary

The Catterick Integrated Care Centre (CICC) programme is a flagship initiative within Defence Medical Services (DMS) Transformation, delivering a state-of-the-art healthcare facility to serve both the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the local NHS population. The Programme Capability Support Officer will play a key role in supporting the delivery of this transformative programme, working closely with the Programme Capability Development Lead to implement solution designs for the Building and Clinical Operating Models. The role involves coordinating resources, managing communications, and supporting administrative functions to ensure smooth programme execution. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a nationally significant initiative, shaping the future of integrated healthcare for MOD and NHS communities.

This role is offered on a fixed-term appointment (FTA) basis due to its alignment with the CICC programme, which is time-limited and will conclude upon the successful delivery of its objectives.

Cyber & Specialist Operations Command (CSOC) generates and operates specialist capabilities, ready to fight across all domains to make the UK secure at home and strong abroad.

Always on, we are across every UK operation, delivering the capabilities you don’t usually see - or those you can’t.

From cyber warriors and medics to intelligence analysts, special forces, educators, and Defence attachés, our collective expertise delivers the warfighting edge Defence needs to deter threats and secure the nation today, and prepare for tomorrow.

CSOC unites Defence’s cyber and specialist capabilities under a single, military command alongside the Royal Navy, British Army, and the Royal Air Force - acting as the UK’s fourth Military Command. For more information, please see here.
