Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust

Health and Care Innovation Programme Manager

The closing date is 10 July 2025

Job summary

The Programme Manager will play a key role in establishing a Centre for Health and Care Innovation within Humber and North Yorkshire, building on a strong foundation of collaborative research and innovation activity and pipeline of new innovation projects. The Programme Manager will be based within the Department of Academic Respiratory Medicine in Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, part of the Humber Health Partnership but will work with a collaborative network across the healthcare and innovation system, including the University of Hull, Humber and North Yorkshire (HNY) Integrated Care Board (ICB), the Health Innovation Network, Industry Partners and others.

Main duties of the job

The Programme Manager will work with colleagues across the healthcare system in HNY and beyond to create a Centre for Health and Care Innovation, focussing within the field of respiratory medicine but with the opportunity to expand to new disease areas. The Programme Manager will oversee a portfolio of innovation projects, coordinate expansion of Centre activities and establish and oversee key governance processes.

The post holder will work as a part of an established team of research nurses and clinical trials assistants. Liaison with external research partners such as pharmaceutical companies, research networks and clinical trials units will be required.

Although the post holder's primary base would be within academic respiratory medicine, there is an expectation that the post holder will be flexible and responsive to the research needs of the organisation and may therefore be required to work in other research areas or as part of the 'Generic Research Team'.
