An Exciting Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust's Digital Services team and play a pivotal role in one of the NHS's most ambitious digital transformation programmes.
Following the successful implementation of Hive, our Epic Electronic Patient Record (EPR), across acute services in September 2022, the UK's largest Epic deployment at the time, we are now delivering the next phase of our digital journey by expanding Hive into Community Services across Manchester and Trafford Local Care Organisations.
This flagship programme is a key strategic priority for MFT, supporting our ambition to deliver more integrated, digitally enabled care closer to home. It is a major enabler of our left shift strategy, helping to shift care from hospital to community settings, and aligns with the NHS 10 Year Health Plan by transforming how community services are delivered through innovative digital solutions.
About the Role
We are seeking an established and dynamic Programme Leader who is ready to hit the ground running, lead from the front, resolve issues before they become escalations, and provide both strategic oversight and hands-on leadership to drive successful programme delivery.
This role requires a minimum of three days per week on site, although this may vary depending on programme needs.

Responsibilities
Reporting to the Director of Hive EPR & Digital Applications, you will lead the programme's digital workstreams, ensuring delivery remains on track and providing assurance to Digital Directors and the wider programme leadership team.
Working closely with the digital workstream leads, you will coordinate delivery across EPR Configuration, Technology, Data & Reporting, Third-Party Systems & Integration, and Digital Training Readiness. You will proactively manage dependencies, remove barriers, resolve issues before they become escalations, and maintain a clear focus on programme outcomes.
You will provide leadership throughout the full programme lifecycle, from mobilisation and governance, through workflow design, configuration, testing, training and operational readiness, to Go-Live in October 2027 and post-implementation optimisation.
