Programme Director
An opportunity to shape the future of healthcare for generations to come.
We are looking for an exceptional Programme Director to lead the Hinchingbrooke Hospital Redevelopment Programme (HHRP), a Wave 1 scheme within the Government’s New Hospital Programme.
This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to do more than deliver a major capital programme. You will help shape the future of our hospital, influence how care is delivered and leave a lasting legacy for our patients, staff and communities.
Joining at a pivotal stage, you will lead the programme towards completion of the Outline Business Case in Spring 2027 and into the next phases of delivery, working closely with our construction partner, Kier.
You will have significant visibility and influence across the organisation and wider health system, working with senior leaders, national partners, clinicians, staff, patients and local communities to turn our ambition into reality.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
