Band 9 Director of Programme Management Office

Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust

This job is now closed

Job summary

North East London (NEL) has a richly diverse population of around two million residents, with significant health inequalities and some of the fastest demographic growth in the country set against a backdrop of longstanding financial challenge. BHRUT serves around 40% of this population and spends over £900m of revenue and approximately £50m o capital each year. The Trust is on a positive journey, having recently exited the NHS Oversight Framework 4 (NOF4), having demonstrated sustained urgent and emergency care and financial improvement. However, as is the case with many Integrted Care Systems and Providers, further significant financial improvement is required. The Director of Programme Management Office is accountable for the provision of a highly capable and customer focused PMO with specific responsibility for two core functions. Planned interview date: 12th February 2025.

Main duties of the job

1. Leading the Trusts integrated planning processes, connecting Trust objectives, Clinical Group and Corporate Department business plans, ensuring consistency with the organisation's strategic direction and connectivity between activity and performance, money and workforce. 2. High quality programme management of the Trusts financial improvement programme and as necessary, financial recovery. They will ensure effective governance, intelligent multi-year planning and drive delivery through best practice project delivery methodology, insightful reporting at programme, project and workstream levels and risk identification and mitigation planning to keep delivery on track.

About us

We're an organisation that is getting better and better. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we're no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and that our patients are happy with.

Many of our 8,000 staff - who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we're proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London - more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023.

Patients across north east London are benefitting from two new state of the art theatres at KGH and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out.

We're looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year. This will mean the records of any patient visiting one of the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health will be accessible to the clinical teams. It'll make things easier for staff and will be better for patients.
