Are you passionate about shaping the future of cancer care? Join us as a Senior Project Manager (Band 8a) with the North Central London Cancer Alliance (NCL CA). In this pivotal role, you won't just oversee projects, you'll lead initiatives that transform cancer care for patients across the region. As part of the NCL Integrated Care System (ICS) and hosted by UCLH, we are committed to delivering seamless, patient-centred care. Our work spans from public health interventions to advanced specialist treatments, uniting NHS organisations and local authorities within NCL to create meaningful change.

In this role, you will manage a dynamic portfolio of initiatives focused on strengthening and enhancing the cancer workforce across NCL and beyond. These projects are integral to improving the quality of care and outcomes for cancer patients, positioning you at the forefront of impactful, patient-centred advancements.

Your role will involve strategic oversight and hands-on execution, blending the art of leadership with the science of project management. You'll foster meaningful relationships with stakeholders across the cancer system, balancing flexible home and office-based working with essential face-to-face interactions to build sustainable professional networks.

Interviews are scheduled to take place on 13th February 2025.

As Senior Project Manager (Band 8a), you'll take the reins on two transformative projects that are shaping the future of cancer care for both patients and professionals.

• The London Cancer Clinical Nurse (CNS) Specialist Development Project

Play a pivotal role in advancing the London Cancer CNS Development Project, led by NCL CA, to strengthen and expand the pipeline of senior Cancer CNSs. With five CNS Cancer Development Leads (CDLs) already driving change across London's Integrated Care System areas through teaching, observation, coaching, and reflective techniques, this project is entering a critical implementation phase.

Taking over from the current postholder on maternity leave, you'll provide vital project support to London's Cancer Alliance and the CDLs. Your leadership will ensure rigorous evaluation, monitoring, and ongoing success, building on a solid foundation to empower and innovate the CNS workforce.

• The ACCEND project across NCL

You will also lead the implementation of the ACCEND (Aspirant Cancer Career and Education Development) programme across NCL. This visionary initiative focuses on supporting the non-medical workforce, translating strategic aims into actionable plans. Partnering with the programme manager, you'll operationalise the ACCEND framework across NCL cancer teams, contributing to the Cancer Workforce Programme's goals.

These are not just projects; they are opportunities to redefine what's possible for NCL cancer workforce.
