The Senior Programme Manager for the LCSP will focus on delivering and expanding the lung cancer programme in collaboration with various stakeholders to reduce health inequalities. Meanwhile, the Bowel/Genomics role will oversee the FIT implementation in bowel cancer pathways and manage the NHS Jewish BRCA testing programme, including relationship management with relevant entities. This dynamic environment offers the opportunity to contribute to significant advancements in cancer diagnosis and patient care.
We are looking for two Senior Programme Managers (one permanent post, and one maternity cover post) to join the Earlier Diagnosis Team to help us achieve our Long Term Plan ambition to diagnose 3 in 4 cancers at an early stage by 2028.
The Earlier Diagnosis Team is responsible for delivering a range of high impact programmes, including the Lung Cancer Screening Programme (LCSP), the implementation of FIT in the Lower gastrointestinal (GI) pathway, and the NHS Jewish BRCA testing programme. All these programmes contribute to the earlier diagnosis of cancer by identifying people at high risk of cancer before they have any symptoms and by streamlining pathways to ensure patients are diagnosed in a timely fashion in line with operational standards. The Earlier Diagnosis portfolio is continuously growing and evolving as new evidence emerges, making this both a dynamic and exciting team to be a part of.
The post holder(s) will lead on the delivery of the programmes within the Earlier Diagnosis portfolio. The portfolio of each Senior Programme Manager is set out below. Each candidate should indicate their preference for contract type (permanent/maternity) and the portfolio of work (LCSP or Bowel/Genomics). A decision about which contract/portfolio is offered will be taken based on the interview and the candidate's experience. Candidates should expect that these portfolios may change and flex as new priorities emerge.
