We are delighted to offer these opportunities to join the Digital Programmes team in the role of Senior Project Manager.

One of the most important components of our transformation as an organisation and wider health care system, will be how well we embrace the challenge of digital. Digital health plays a pivotal role in improving how care is delivered, empowering both communities and professionals through better digital services and information.

These is a full time position but part-time working or job share arrangements could be considered for the right candidate.

Main duties of the job

These posts require enthusiastic, experienced and highly motivated individuals who respond positively to new challenges. The Senior Project Managers will manage one or more projects independently in complex situations as well as supervising others applying the competence.

The postholder will have significant experience in project management methods and tools, will lead project teams (in a matrix management environment) and will provide advice to decision makers.

About us

As a system, our level of digital maturity has historically been low. In the last twelve months we have been investing in the ground work that will enable us to become a recognised digital exemplar where people seek employment and where patients receive digitally enabled best care. The Digital Programmes department is driving this change and you would be joining an experienced team of professional portfolio, programme, project, benefits & change managers.
