Medical Equipment Capital Programme Manager
Medical Equipment Programme Manager
BHT invests between £2.5 - £11 million each year through its medical equipment capital programme, renewing and expanding its medical equipment fleet of all types from infusion systems and ultrasound to integrated patient monitoring. The programme will also equip the major new development at Wycombe Hospital including large imaging modalities. This programme manager role sits at the centre of how we discover, select, procure, and introduce medical technology, leading the medical technology conversation.
About the Role
The ideal candidate brings both NHS and commercial experience — someone who has operated inside the clinical environment with understanding of the market from the outside. If you have that combination, we want to hear from you.
If your background is primarily in one domain — whether that is capital and market knowledge gained from within NHS clinical engineering, or via commercial medical equipment sales — but you have the ability, drive, and self-awareness to develop across the full scope of the role, we are equally interested.
The Trust is open to appointing either an experienced candidate who fully meets the requirements of the Band 8a position or a high-potential candidate at Band 7 as part of a structured development pathway. For development appointments, a clear progression plan will be agreed, with advancement to full Band 8a responsibilities based on demonstrated competence, capability and performance.

Responsibilities
The programme manager is responsible for the delivery of the Trust's medical equipment capital programme, scoping the market discovering what is possible, engaging clinicians to hear what is needed and translating that into a capital programme that delivers safe, effective, and innovative equipment. This is not simply a procurement administration role as it spans long-term strategy and business case development through supplier negotiation, evaluation, procurement, commissioning, and deployment.
Working as a senior member of the Clinical Engineering team, you will operate across clinical, technical, financial, and commercial boundaries. You’ll represent the Trust's interests in the medical equipment market with the authority and expertise to get the best from it.
