Ready to Lead Change That Matters?
We’re on an exciting journey at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust , and we’ve just launched a brand-new Programme Management Office (PMO) to help us deliver some of the most complex and high-impact projects across the organisation.
We’re facing big challenges — especially around financial recovery — and we need a Senior Programme Manager who’s ready to roll up their sleeves and make a real difference.
Please note that this post is restricted to staff from the following trusts:
Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust
Lancashire & South Cumbria Integrated Care Board
Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust
Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust
University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust
You’ll be working closely with our Head of PMO , executive leaders, senior clinicians, and operational teams to drive forward major programmes like the Financial Recovery Programme (FRP) and the Single Improvement Plan (SIP) . It’s a role that blends strategic thinking, hands-on delivery, and relationship-building — all with the goal of improving care and efficiency across the Trust.
We are looking for someone who’s confident leading complex programmes, great at engaging stakeholders, and passionate about making things better. You’ll need to be organised, analytical, and ready to work at pace — but you’ll also be supported by a brilliant team who are just as committed as you are.
Why join us?
Because here, your work will matter. You’ll be part of a team that’s driving real change, improving services for patients, and helping shape the future of healthcare in Lancashire. Plus, you’ll be joining a Trust that values innovation, collaboration, and personal growth.
At Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, we’re committed to helping you grow — both professionally and personally. From tailored development programmes and leadership opportunities to flexible working options and wellbeing support, we make sure you have the tools, time, and encouragement to thrive in your role while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

You’ll bring clarity, structure, and energy to complex change initiatives, ensuring documentation is top-notch, risks are managed, and progress is clearly reported to senior boards and stakeholders. With your strong leadership and data expertise, you’ll help shape strategy, support your team’s development, and build trusted relationships that influence the Trust’s direction.
