General Practice Non-clinical Development Manager

Are you an individual who lives in the BNSSG area, has project management experience and looking to be part of an important and exciting new project? We wish to recruit a Project Manager for a fixed term contract (12 mths - Agenda for Change Band 7) to support our growing, busy and friendly Training Hub team.
The General Practice non-clinical Development (GPNC) project is vital to future sustainability of General Practice. Whilst there have been many initiatives to support and establish clinical and PCN roles, there has been minimal national / local activity to develop non-clinical general practice staff and associated management roles. These non-clinical and management roles equate to 50% of the overall general practice workforce. The Covid pandemic contributed to a marked increase in reception and management role attrition.
The GPNC project aims to create career paths to enable long-term recruitment and development of non-clinical general practice staff. In addition, to enable pragmatic access to associated training and development provision and recommend ongoing support to this staff cohort.
This role is suitable for an individual wishing to further develop professional project management skills at a senior level and a desire to work within the NHS. You may already be working for NHSE or in General Practice and will be employed by the Bristol, North Somerset and S Glos Training Hub., The GPNC Development Manager's prime responsibility is to implement this programme, ensure requirements are fully met and agreed solutions implemented. The role is key to ensuring the enhancement of BNSSG general practice non-clinical and management education and learning, hence excellent stakeholder management, communication and influencing skills are a pre-requisite of this role.
The GPNC Development Manager will ensure required deliverables are met within defined quality, time and cost constraints and to facilitate full realisation of benefits defined in the Project Initiation Document (PID). This should be achieved by appropriate adherence to standard project management methodology including project initiation, planning, delivery, reporting, risk management, evaluation, closure and benefits realisation.
As part of the workforce governance arrangements, oversight and management of this project is through the GPNC Steering Group, which reports to the Training Hub Oversight Board. Programme updates will be required as part of project management methodology and the GPNC Development Manager will be required to link with the associated projects linking with this programme.
