Job Overview
The Project Manager role will support the development of a single service within Learning and Development. The project manager will liaise with the wider People project team and facilitate the Group Director of Leaning and Workforce Development management and governance of a single service. There are no additional funds for the post, therefore the post is funded from within learning and development by re-purposing existing funds, rather than as part of the transitional resource. Therefore, this is not a ‘new post’ but instead an internal secondment opportunity for an existing member of staff within learning and development. The post will be a change of duties and will not be backfilled. The post will be promoted by suitable staff submitting an Expression of Interest.
There is no additional funding for this job role and is therefore offered on a secondment basis only.
Main duties of the job
The role will be responsible for the effective delivery of a portfolio of workstreams that underpins the activity to establish a single model of services within UHBW’s and NBT’s Learning & Workforce Development functions. This activity is aligned to the Group People Offering Programme delivering transformational change as the two Acutes meet the strategic aim of forming a Hospital Group.
Through this work, the Programme Manager will play a key role in contributing to the effective delivery of a large scale, people-centred change programme which will ultimately deliver the business benefits and wider change committed to under the ‘Our People offering’ of the Group business case.
Candidates will need technical programme management skills and possess the ability to achieve results through a diversity of indirect team members. Candidates will also have considerable experience of leading a learning and development portfolio, at a senior level, across a range of different and diverse workstreams.
It is essential that they demonstrate excellent negotiation and influencing skills and must be able to communicate effectively with staff at all levels across both organisations to deliver practical improvements whilst producing financially sustainable services.
Working for our organisation
This post will work with both organisations North Bristol Trust and UHBW Foundation Trust as part of the new Bristol Group Model.
The alignment to a single managed service across Bristol will ultimately deliver benefits for staff and more importantly patients and their care.
