About this role
Job summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Capital Team at our main hospital site for a permanent full-time Project Manager (Capital) , supporting the delivery of a significant portfolio of RAAC and other capital projects.
This role is vital in shaping the environments where healthcare is delivered. As a Project Manager, you will play a key role in creating spaces that are safe, modern and supportive for patients, staff and visitors alike.
Every project you deliver, whether it is the refurbishment of a ward, the upgrade of critical infrastructure systems, or the creation of new clinical facilities, will have a direct and lasting impact on the experience of those who use our hospital services.
We are looking for an individual who thrives on bringing structure and clarity to complex projects, enjoys working collaboratively with multidisciplinary and clinical teams, and is motivated by delivering tangible outcomes that make a real difference. This is a rewarding opportunity to contribute to a high-profile programme of work that will support the continued delivery of safe and effective patient care across the Trust.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will be responsible for managing allocated capital projects and supporting the successful delivery of the Trust's RAAC Programme. This will involve planning, coordinating and overseeing projects from inception through to completion, ensuring agreed objectives, timescales and budgets are achieved.
Working closely with directly employed staff, contractors, consultants and other specialist service providers, the Project Manager will ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently and in accordance with statutory, regulatory and Trust requirements.
The post holder will be responsible for ensuring that projects are managed effectively to provide the highest standards of service delivery within the resources available, while maintaining compliance with all relevant legislation, codes of practice and governance procedures.
In periods where the post holder is not actively engaged in capital project delivery, they will support the Operational Lead for RAAC in the maintenance, development and improvement of the Trust estate. This will include contributing to initiatives that ensure the hospital environment remains safe, compliant and fit for purpose, supporting the delivery of high-quality patient care.
The role requires close collaboration with clinical, operational and technical stakeholders, balancing competing priorities while ensuring that project outcomes support the Trust's strategic objectives and enhance the experience of patients, staff and visitors.
