Overview
We are currently seeking an experienced Programme Manager, at Band 8a to work within our Performance, Improvement and Transformation Department via a Bank Contract, based in Hatfield. You will be joining our Temporary Staffing Team within HPFT – Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust. This role will lead complex Trust-wide transformation programmes from inception to completion. It will ensure programmes are delivered effectively and achieve the intended measurable impact and outcomes for service users, carers and staff. The post holder will develop relationships and directly work with a range of stakeholders at all levels including members of the Executive Team, other senior managers, clinical and operational roles, managers working in corporate functions such as HR, Digital and Finance, stakeholders from partner organisations, and service users and carers.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will be required to either directly line manage or supervise more junior project managers or project officers. Where line management is required, they will be responsible for recruitment, appraisals and disciplinary matters. The post holder will contribute to the development of the transformation team by sharing their skills and delivering informal learning sessions. Managers have a duty to promote and support staffs' personal health and wellbeing at all times; this includes both physical and mental health. Managers have a responsibility to support staff by directing employees to services that are available to everyone to help in managing health and wellbeing. They should be open and approachable as well as proactive in discussing and agreeing a process to monitor an employee's mental and physical health.
Because the role involves complex and long‑term Trust‑wide projects and programmes that often involve uncertainty and a high level of risk, the postholder will provide effective leadership in the following areas:
* Scoping programmes by analysing a range of complex data sets and using strategic thinking to identify delivery options and required resources.
* Ensuring programme objectives are clear and the measurable impact on effectiveness, safety, experience and productivity can be assessed.
* Establishing strong programme management approaches and governance that enable the programme to be delivered on time and budget, and to adapt to changes when required.
* Setting up and delivering regular reporting and monitoring of progress and risk management.
You will be required to oversee the budget for the programmes which you manage. You will work with clinicians, operational managers, service users and carers to develop and deliver service redesign projects which will achieve improved performance and quality of services across the Trust or at least one Directorate.
The postholder will have access to vulnerable people in the course of their normal duties and as such this post is subject to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2020. A disclosure and barring service check will be required to check for any previous criminal convictions.
