The Transforming Care Digitally (TCD) Programme is responsible for delivering digital transformation across GHC, improving the way services operate and supporting better outcomes for patients, carers and staff.
As a Project Manager within TCD, you will lead the delivery of complex digital transformation projects from concept through to implementation, adoption and benefits realisation. Working closely with clinical, operational, corporate and digital teams, you will help identify opportunities for improvement, develop business cases, manage project delivery and ensure solutions are successfully embedded into day-to-day practice.
The post holder will be responsible for convening and leading multidisciplinary project teams, coordinating a wide range of stakeholders and managing projects that support the Trust's strategic priorities and digital ambitions. This includes ensuring robust governance, effective risk and issue management, stakeholder engagement, operational readiness and successful transition into business as usual. To support engagement and delivery across projects this role requires post holders to be onsite a minimum of 2 days per week.
This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in shaping and delivering digital change across the organisation, acting as the link between clinical and operational need, digital expertise and successful implementation. The role requires strong leadership, communication, analytical and project management skills, alongside a passion for delivering meaningful improvements for patients, services and staff.
