Change Manager – Governance & PMO
📍 Location: Bolton, UK (Hybrid – 2 days per week in office)
💰 Salary: £52,000 – £58,000 Base + 10% Bonus (Paid Twice Yearly)
📅 Contract: Permanent
🛂 Visa Sponsorship: Not Available (UK Right to Work Required)
About the Opportunity
My client is the UK's largest provider of NHS cataract surgery, who are in the middle of one of the most exciting digital transformations in UK healthcare.
They're rolling out AI-powered diagnostics, automated patient bookings, AI-driven call handling, and RPA for referrals processing across 70+ sites nationally. In about seven months, they've reduced their referral backlog from 1700 to under 700. They've been recognised as a Great Place to Work for wellbeing, development, and healthcare, with an exceptional average patient satisfaction score of 92%.
Our client is expanding their Business Improvement team and hiring a Change Manager to lead the governance and PMO oversight of their transformation programme. This is a critical hire – they need someone who can establish structure, drive delivery, and make sure transformation initiatives actually land.
What You'll Do
This is a Change Manager role with a heavy governance and PMO focus. You'll lead the Change Governance approach and provide oversight of the PMO, ensuring transformation initiatives are prioritised, governed, delivered, and embedded effectively.
You'll work closely with leadership, project sponsors, project managers, and stakeholders – focusing on the structure, controls, and reporting that make change happen.
