Infrastructure Programme

• Ambulance Vehicle Preparation
• Community Ambulance Points
• Main Operating Bases
• Medicines Repacking

Future Innovations Programme

• 999 Clinical Operating Model

Fleet & Equipment

• Medical Device Transformation

We are looking for two committed, passionate people to lead and coordinate projects, undertake data analysis and play a pivotal role in the delivery of communications and engagement.

You will join a small team of Operational Change Managers who are each assigned their own projects and objectives. This team environment will provide support and development that will nurture your skills and experience.

Please note:

There are two secondments available, and both are for 12 months from 1st April 2025.

The base location for this role is flexible.

The postholder will be required to undertake significant travel around the region. Where appropriate, a car will be provided for business use.

Main duties of the job

Reporting to the Head of Enabling Improvement and working as part of a small team, the post holder will support the delivery and development of key strategic projects across the organisation, with specific focus on engagement, project management and business analysis.

Whilst core project management work will be undertaken by another team, this post holder will need to effectively lead a group of stakeholders, act as a change agent, and 'do the doing'.

What differentiates this role from a project management role is a significant focus on the delivery of effective engagement by proactively leading on specific plans, working with our Communications Manager and acting as an ambassador across the region.

A vital element of the role is to take time to listen and give our people a voice by providing a conduit between our people and our strategic projects. Working effectively both at an operational and strategic level with senior stakeholders, the role will support full benefits realisation of our strategic programmes.

About us

Working for us is an experience like no other. We provide emergency and urgent care, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, operating across the largest ambulance region in England of 10,000 square miles and responding to an average of 2,650 incidents every day.

We remain committed to ensuring that we provide the best possible care for all our patients, which is reflected in our new five-year strategy which has continually improving patient care at its very core.

At the heart of our beautiful and diverse region we employ over 6000 people and are supported by over 575 volunteers.

If you embody our values of one team, compassionate and innovative and are looking to make a real difference to peoples' lives, then we would love to hear from you.

In return we will equip you with the skills, resources and development you need to thrive in your role.

You will have opportunities to progress to roles at a higher pay grade and enjoy continuous professional development.
