Description
We are looking to recruit 2 x Programme Manager posts, one post will be fixed term for 2 years and the other post will be permanent. Both posts will initially support the planning for implementation of the lung cancer screening programme and the permanent post will then continue to support the delivery of the programme once this is operational.
Following a positive recommendation from the UK National Screening Committee and the successful delivery of a pilot in the North Rhondda area, Welsh Government have approved for lung cancer screening to be implemented as a new screening programme in Wales. This represents a significant development for health services in Wales and this post offers an exciting opportunity for a driven and innovative individual to play a key role in this, supporting the planning and implementation of lung cancer screening to ensure that the benefits delivered are maximised for the population.
You will join our existing programme team and play a key role in the strategic planning, delivery, and benefits realisation of introducing a new programme on a national scale. Working collaboratively as part of the Lung Screening Senior Leadership Team and with the wider Public Health Wales teams and external stakeholders, you will lead the delivery of a number of specific projects, and support delivery of the programme as a whole.
As a Programme Manager working in the Lung Screening Wales programme team you will play a critical role in the planning and delivery of lung cancer screening as a new screening programme in Wales, acting as a member of the Senior Leadership Team and deputising for
the Head of Programme as required.
We are looking for someone with a proven track record of managing programmes and projects, from planning through to delivery. You will be diligent in your approach, able to work independently and have an innovative, problem-solving approach, with strong stakeholder management skills and experience in implementing risk management and governance processes. As part of a passionate, enthusiastic, supportive, and high performing team, you will build positive relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
There are multiple steps in the lung cancer screening pathway, including cohort identification and invitation, risk assessment, CT scanning, CT scan reporting, integrated smoking cessation and actioning results. The Programme Manager will lead the planning and delivery of specific elements of the pathway and will provide input to other elements of the wider programme as required, working within the governance structure established for the programme. This role will require a broad knowledge and skill set, including in project and programme management, procurement, performance management, financial management and staff management.
