The East Midlands Cancer Alliance (EMCA) is a collaborative organisation dedicated to improving cancer care and outcomes across the East Midlands region. It brings together a wide range of partners, including healthcare providers, patients, charities, and academic institutions, with the common goal of enhancing cancer prevention, early diagnosis, treatment, and care. EMCA works to ensure that patients receive timely, equitable, and high-quality cancer services, regardless of where they live in the region. A key aspect of EMCA's approach is its partnership with Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), which play a crucial role in aligning cancer care services with local health needs. ICBs, which oversee the commissioning and coordination of healthcare services in specific areas, collaborate closely with EMCA to ensure that cancer services are integrated into broader health and social care strategies. This partnership ensures that resources are effectively allocated, and that care pathways are designed to meet the specific needs of the population. We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Programme Manager to join our team. In this pivotal role, you will be responsible for leading and managing key programmes that align with national strategies and organisational priorities. You will work within a dynamic team, collaborating across departments and with external stakeholders to drive improvements in service delivery and operational efficiency. As Programme Manager, you will develop strategic plans, manage complex projects, and influence performance outcomes through your expertise in programme management, change management, and improvement processes. You will be responsible for building effective networks, supporting teams, and ensuring that projects are delivered on time and within budget. About us We are looking for someone with excellent leadership, communication, and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. A proven track record in programme or project management and a solid understanding of complex care pathways and stakeholder engagement is essential. If you are passionate about driving change and making a tangible impact, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity. Join us and contribute to improving services and outcomes for our organisation and the populations we serve. The East Midlands Cancer Alliance (EMCA) is hosted by the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) as its employer but works on behalf of all five ICBs in the East Midlands. Together, EMCA and ICBs work to address disparities in cancer outcomes, enhance access to cutting-edge treatments, and promote early detection initiatives. By leveraging the expertise of multiple stakeholders, they aim to streamline cancer care services, reduce waiting times, and improve patient experiences. The collaboration between EMCA and ICBs is essential for driving forward the strategic objectives of the NHS Long Term Plan, particularly in reducing cancer mortality and improving overall survival rates in the East Midlands.
