Main duties of the job
Reporting to the NLFT CEO, the Programme Director is responsible for leading a range of NLFT projects and associated business change activities related to the Programme.
The role manages the St Pancras Programme Sponsor Group, as well as the relationship with KCCLP, and has primary responsibility for successful delivery of the required outcomes, including the establishment of appropriate governance and assurance, monitoring progress, managing risks and issues and ensuring the business readiness for change.
About us
Having successfully delivered two state of the art mental health facilities at Highgate East and Lowther Road, the Programme has undertaken a major review of the scope of next stages and will be delivering additional improved facilities for mental health services (provided by NLFT), both on the existing site and other local sites. The site is currently home to a kidney dialysis unit (provided by Royal Free London NHSFT), and the move of this facility to another local site will require close co-ordination with the wider Programme. The new health facilities on site, coupled with Project Oriel, a world-leading centre for advancing eye health (delivered by Moorfields Eye Hospital and UCL) and extensive regeneration of the area by KCCLP gives the Programme the potential to be a world-class healthcare-led urban regeneration programme.
