Band 6 Junior Project Manager-Bath NHS House

Are you passionate about project management and driven by the desire to improve the experience of mental health services for both service users and staff?

The successful candidate will be supporting the delivery of a large-scale programme to change the way our clinicians and the wider mental health system create care plans for and with our service users, ensuring that these care and support plans are personalised and flexibly meet individual need.

In order to support this significant change, any candidate will need to be skilled at engaging stakeholders (clinical staff, system partners, service users and carers), have proven experience in delivering clinical change and have skills working within a project management environment. The post-holder will be working closely with the Care Planning Transformation Lead to implement our new approach across the organisation, ensuring that project objectives are achieved and that benefits are carefully monitored.

The post-holder will be expected to bring NHS expertise, pace, pragmatism, enthusiasm and creativity to deliver change. They will have a strong understanding of governance and well developed business skills.

If you have the experience and enthusiasm to deliver transformational change and improvements to services that enhance quality, safety and better outcomes for patients then we would like to hear from you.

Flexible working considered and informal contact is welcomed.

Working under the direction of the SRO and Delivery Lead, support the Project Manager to implement this programme of work, taking responsibility for aspects of project governance, working within relevant clinical, IT and system wide frameworks.
