St Pancras Redevelopment Programme Director

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.

North London NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to appoint a Programme Director to lead the realisation of the St Pancras Redevelopment Programme.

North London NHS Foundation Trust (NLFT) was formed as the result of a merger between Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust and Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust in November 2024. NLFT has a turnover of over £500m and with over 5,500 staff is one of the largest mental health providers in the country.

The St Pancras Programme is an ambitious NHS plan aimed at improving mental health and community services for local people. Through the redevelopment of the St Pancras Hospital site with a commercial development partner King's Cross Central Limited Partnership (KCCLP), our vision is to provide exceptional clinical care in modern, accessible and sustainable facilities, and to deliver a place which is accessible and welcoming to all, whilst promoting the physical and mental wellbeing of those living, working and visiting the area, through open space, workspace and homes alongside new modern clinical buildings., 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.
