Senior Programme Manager | University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

The Strategy team is looking for a dynamic senior team member to lead a range of high profile and strategically important projects working with internal and external stakeholders. The role will involve balancing a varied workload, with programmes in a range of phases, from initiation to planning and operational go-live delivery. This will require a collaborative approach with colleagues from all professional backgrounds, in clinical, operational and corporate roles, within provider and commissioning organisations, and an ability to work independently and flexibly to deliver progress against project objectives. The Senior Programme Manager will lead on a number of projects as summarised in the job description. These are expected to include leading the Bedford Passage development programme - opening a new clinical facility late in 2025 - and the Grays Inn Road development, which will see services from the Queens Square division moving into this UCL development in 2026. These programmes require the ability to work with clinical teams to mobilise the service and operational changes needed in readiness for these new clinical facilities opening, as well as the ability to manage the programme more broadly and ensure activities, risks and costs are appropriately managed, in conjunction with capital, build, digital, facilities and procurement colleagues. The postholder will lead and coordinate project activities, chair programme meetings, develop and manage project documentation, timelines and risks. Analytical thinking to process complex information is essential as well as excellent and responsive verbal and written communication skills with staff at all levels.

The allocated projects and programmes of work are likely to change over time and a flexible, dynamic team player is needed to respond to changing priorities. This role plays a senior leadership role within the strategy team and is expected to line manage some members of the team as well as support and develop other team members who may not be under their direct line management., Disability Confident About Disability Confident A Disability Confident employer will generally offer an interview to any applicant that declares they have a disability and meets the minimum criteria for the job as defined by the employer.
