Job overview
We are recruiting a Programme Delivery Manager (AfC 8b) to lead delivery for RADIX (OneLondon) within SAFEHR at UCLH/UCL (NIHR Biomedical Research Centre).
RADIX is a pan-London programme to reduce harm from inappropriate antibiotic prescribing and strengthen antimicrobial stewardship. It will use the OneLondon Secure Data Environment to link prescribing and microbiology data across care settings, and to support analytics and AI / machine learning tools that can be evaluated and scaled.
You will be responsible for programme delivery and day-to-day coordination across clinical, research, information governance, and software/data engineering teams. You will work with colleagues across UCLH and UCL, and with external partners in London, to keep delivery on track and governance in place.
SAFEHR enables secure access to routine NHS data for research and innovation. We run the processes and delivery needed to turn electronic health record data (and related sources such as imaging and text) into research-ready assets that support evaluation, analytics and AI work.
This post is offered for 12 months (fixed-term contract or sabbatical), with potential extension subject to funding. Salary is £72,921–£83,365 per annum (including HCAS).
Main duties of the job
You will lead delivery of the RADIX programme portfolio and provide operational support to keep work moving across UCLH, UCL and OneLondon partners.
You will:
• Develop and run programme plans: milestones, dependencies, resourcing, progress reporting, and delivery risks/issues.
• Coordinate delivery across clinical, research, information governance, EHR, and software/data engineering teams.
• Set up and run governance in a way that supports delivery: prepare agendas and papers, capture actions and decisions, and follow through.
• Support delivery of linked data and analytics/AI work by ensuring the right approvals, controls and documentation are in place.
• Maintain delivery standards: create and improve lightweight templates and standard operating procedures that make projects repeatable.
• Provide day-to-day operational management support to the programme team, including prioritisation and workload planning as requirements change.
This role suits someone with strong programme management fundamentals, confidence working with technical teams, and experience operating in high-trust, high-governance environments (health, research, or equivalent). Experience with health data governance and delivery of data/analytics/AI programmes is desirable.
