This is an exciting opportunity to join Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as a Senior Project Manager (Band 7) within a growing and ambitious transformation function. These are brand new roles created as we expand our capability and establish a more formalised Project Management Office (PMO) to support delivery of our five-year strategy and long-term organisational ambitions.
You will play a key role in delivering a diverse portfolio of transformation projects, working across either clinical service improvement or estates-focused transformation programmes, depending on portfolio priorities and your experience. This includes improving patient pathways such as outpatients, access and flow, or contributing to the development and modernisation of our estate to better support high-quality, efficient care.
Working within our developing PMO, you will contribute to embedding consistent project management standards, governance and ways of working, helping to build a culture of high-quality delivery, accountability and continuous improvement. As a Senior Project Manager, you will lead the delivery of complex and high-impact projects within a broad transformation portfolio, supporting either clinical service transformation or estates-related transformation programmes.
You will be responsible for developing robust project plans, managing risks, issues and dependencies, tracking delivery against milestones, and ensuring projects are delivered to agreed time, cost and quality standards.
Depending on your allocated portfolio, you will contribute to projects that improve patient pathways and operational performance such as outpatients, patient flow and length of stay, or support estates development, infrastructure improvements and the environments in which care is delivered.
In all cases, you will ensure projects deliver clear, measurable benefits and that change is embedded and sustainable over the longer term.
You will work closely with clinical teams, estates and facilities colleagues, operational leads and corporate services, building strong relationships to support delivery and engagement. You will also contribute to wider PMO development, supporting improvements in governance, reporting and delivery standards.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced project professional who enjoys hands‑on delivery, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and wants to be part of a team shaping how transformation is delivered, making a tangible and lasting impact on patient care, staff experience and organisational performance. We are looking for candidates with proven project management experience.
You will be organised, proactive and resilient, with strong communication and stakeholder management skills, and the ability to manage competing priorities while delivering change in a complex and evolving setting.
You will join a forward-thinking and ambitious transformation function delivering a diverse and high-impact portfolio of programmes, including Clinical Service Transformation and Research, Corporate and Non-clinical Service Transformation, Innovation and Commercial, and Estates Transformation. These programmes span key areas such as outpatients, length of stay, digital enablement and estates modernisation, all contributing to improved patient outcomes, better staff experience and more effective use of resources.
Our transformation function is clinically led, divisional owned and executive sponsored, bringing together expertise from across the organisation to deliver sustainable, organisation-wide change. Supported by strong governance and a clear delivery framework, we are focused not only on delivering transformation but embedding it as part of a culture of continuous improvement.
Our team culture is collaborative and inclusive. We are building an organisation that thinks differently about transformation one that prioritises innovation, leverages digital and data, and invests in capability at every level. Working alongside passionate colleagues, clinical leaders and partners across the wider system, you will contribute directly to meaningful change.
This is more than a project delivery role it is an opportunity to be part of a supportive, innovative team where your work will help transform services and improve care for the communities we serve.
