We are seeking an exceptional and motivated Lung Cancer Screening Programme Manager to lead and shape one of the region’s most significant early diagnosis programmes.
This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of population health, driving innovation, collaboration, and service improvement to ensure eligible residents have access to life-saving lung health checks and screening. Working with a wide range of NHS providers, local authorities, and community partners, you will play a pivotal role in reducing health inequalities, improving patient outcomes, and delivering a programme that has the potential to save hundreds of lives through earlier cancer detection.
If you are a strategic, driven, and influential leader with a passion for improving healthcare services, we would love to hear from you.
