Description
Please note that this post is offered as a 22.5 hour per week fixed term contract for 6 months.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Project Manager to join the Haematology Research Team on a short term basis to cover a period of leave. We are looking for an aspiring, self-motivated individual who can demonstrate scientific knowledge and the use of recognised project management principles and tools on a wide range of projects. The team is a group of staff from a number of disciplines and backgrounds who pride themselves on being compassionate, friendly, approachable, patient focussed and committed to research. The role will require working closely with the team to lead the delivery of several key projects within the research portfolio.
The successful candidate will have extensive experience and a track record of delivering change, demonstrate effective leadership and have excellent stakeholder management skills ideally within a health or academic setting.
The demands and scale of the projects you will work on will vary but we will look to you to utilise the following for continued development and implementation of our portfolio of projects: experience of delivering complex multi-disciplinary projects; experience of bid data projects; skills to manage competing demands; ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities; response to short deadlines; effective communication to all stakeholders, flexibility to take on all tasks within a project and your ability to quickly build strong working relationships.
You will work across health and academic settings working closely with Consultant Haematologists who are recognised nationally and internationally in their field. You will have responsibility for driving the portfolio of projects forward, ensuring delivery of programmes within agreed timescales and budgets and may be asked to advise, support and provide training to other members of the team and new research fellows or PhD students. Excellent communication, personal influence and client engagement skills are essential to this role whilst working with key internal and external partners.
The Christie is one of Europe’s leading cancer centres, treating over 60,000 patients a year. We are based in Manchester and serve a population of 3.2 million across Greater Manchester & Cheshire, but as a national specialist around 15% patients are referred to us from other parts of the country.
We provide radiotherapy through one of the largest radiotherapy departments in the world; chemotherapy on site and through 14 other hospitals; highly specialist surgery for complex and rare cancer; and a wide range of support and diagnostic services. We are also an international leader in research, with world first breakthroughs for over 100 years.
We run one of the largest early clinical trial units in Europe with over 300 trials every year. Cancer research in Manchester, most of which is undertaken on the Christie site, has been officially ranked the best in the UK.
