Project Manager- Productivity

at  North Bristol NHS Trust

As a project manager working at North Bristol NHS Trust, you will have direct responsibility for overseeing the delivery of end-to-end projects that will either support our clinical divisions to achieve recovery of activity following the impact of COVID, or to better use the limited resources we have.
The role will work within our Financial Sustainability team which aims to deliver large, cross-cutting programmes of work using expert programme management skills, operational management support and analysis to identify opportunities for improvement. While the role reports into the Financial Sustainability team and will support the delivery of our Engagement, Value, Outcome (EVO) Approach, we expect this role will have the opportunity to deliver projects across the whole Trust-Wide portfolio. The role will also link with the Reset & Recovery team where cross-cutting opportunities have been identified.
As a Project Manager in the team, you will be responsible for ensuring your projects are well planned, co-ordinated, and delivered with benefits identified upfront and realised on delivery. You will be expected to use your knowledge and experience to ensure projects and wider programmes are delivered within time and cost constraints and your ability to build strong relationships and trust with clinical and operational teams will support the implementation of these programmes and projects.
The post holder will be working in a dynamic change environment, with tight timescales and with a wide variety of stakeholders. This exciting role has a real opportunity to drive and contribute to clinical and operational programmes of work which will make a genuine difference to patients while being part of a growing and forward-looking team.
North Bristol NHS Trust is a progressive and ambitious teaching and research organisation, and a specialist regional centre for major trauma, neurosciences, plastics and burns, orthopaedics and renal services. With a turnover of £700m and 9,000 staff, our clinical teams have built a strong reputation for exceptional healthcare, personally delivered. We are delivering major programmes of change in order to address both short term and long term financial and operational challenges.
We are working together to create the environment for exceptional healthcare – our acute services moved into the brand new, £430 million state of the art Brunel Building ten years ago, in May 2014. This 850-bed hospital at the Southmead site offers patients single rooms with en-suite facilities, greatly improving privacy and dignity and helping to control the spread of infections. At the heart of what we do is a caring and compassionate workforce and we are currently undergoing one of the largest transformation programmes in the NHS with the implementation of Patient First.
