Project Manager Opportunity
Are you an experienced project manager passionate about working collaboratively to improve patient pathways and clinical services? Do you thrive in complex environments, bringing people together to deliver meaningful change? If so, we’d love you to join Our Dorset Provider Collaborative as our new Project Manager.
You’ll help shape improvement projects across acute, community and primary care partners. Working closely with clinical and operational teams, you’ll help drive the development and delivery of Single Dorset Services, and provide high-quality insight to deliver transformation.
You’ll be an experienced project manager who is confident working in complex environments and balancing competing priorities. You’ll be a strong communicator, relationship builder and problem solver with the ability to motivate others and bring people together.
We have set up a single strategic provider collaborative, the ODPC to improve population health and healthcare, tackle unequal outcomes and access, enhance productivity and value for money, and help the NHS to support broader social and economic development.
In return we will offer a supportive, collaborative team working across the Dorset system, flexible working arrangements, a permanent contract, opportunities for professional development and leadership growth, and the chance to deliver projects that genuinely improve services and patient care.

We understand that AI can be a useful tool when completing your application. However, we are seeing an increasing over-reliance of AI tools, which can negatively affect your application as it reduces a candidate's individuality, and make it difficult for us to gain a clear and authentic understanding of your experience, skills, and in turn your suitability for the role.
All submissions must be truthful and if you do use AI, it should only be used to enhance your application and not create your supporting statement in its entirety. Your supporting statement should be in your own words and must accurately reflect your personal experience and achievements. Where we have concerns that AI has been used to generate content that misrepresents your experience and suitability for the role, we may withdraw your application.
