University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust is embarking on an ambitious programme of transformation of its services, estate and wider infrastructure and is looking for a Senior Project Manager to join the team to deliver the Community Diagnostics Centre project, in Plymouth's city centre.
Funding has been secured, a build contractor is appointed and work has started on site. At over 3,000 sqm in size, the building will allow our patients to access a range of high-quality diagnostic tests within a community setting, and the building will also represent the first phase in a programme of wider regeneration led by our strategic partner, Plymouth City Council, in and around Colin Campbell Court.
The Senior Project Manager will manage the build project within time, budget and quality parameters, but will also be involved in the broader aspects of project management around process improvement, digitalisation, patient experience, benefits realisation and social value and partnership working.
The successful candidate will work with an existing team as the Client representative, and be adept at stakeholder engagement, report writing and meeting facilitation, resolving problems and finding solutions to ensure the successful delivery of the scheme.
***Preference will be given to internal Trust staff, as well as 'Priority' and 'At Risk' status including NHS At Risk staff throughout Devon who are able to display recent relevant experience as dictated by the Person Specification.***
This is an opportunity to be part of a significant and rewarding estate development programme that goes beyond pure construction to shape the future delivery of clinical services.
This is a fixed term position for 18 months, reflecting the long term programme of estate development work being undertaken by the Trust, including large scale development at Derriford Hospital, under the government's New Hospital Programme. This post requires a hybrid working approach with time split between the office and the build site, but also allows for home working.
Please see attached full Job Description and Person Specification for further detail.
Interviews for the role will be held on MS Teams on Thursday 24 April 2025, so please ensure that you are able to attend on this date.
