Job description

Join to apply for the Oriel Programme Manager - Education & Innovation role at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London

Are you ready for a once-in-a-career opportunity and to be part of healthcare history? Do you want to join a team at the forefront of delivering a brand-new world-leading centre for advancing eye health in London?

If so, we are looking for a Programme Manager to join the busy team responsible for Oriel, a joint venture between Moorfields Eye Hospital, the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, and Moorfields Eye Charity to create a new, purpose-built centre of excellence for eye care, research, and education.

Together, the Oriel partners will relocate all services from Moorfields Eye Hospital on City Road and UCL IoO on Bath Street to the new, integrated centre in St Pancras, Camden. Construction is well underway, with all 10 levels of the centre built, and it is due to open in 2027. Our vision for Oriel is to create an environment for innovation to flourish, inspiring improvements in people’s sight. The centre will be flexible and modern, enabling us to bring together eye care, research, and education for the first time, while focusing on patients and attracting and retaining the best ophthalmic scientists, educators, and clinicians.

We are seeking dynamic candidates to lead our Education and Innovation Hub work, helping to drive real change that will bring the Oriel vision to life.

The post holder will be employed by Moorfields as the partner host for the programme and will report directly to the Joint Programme Directors.

Responsibilities

Within the Oriel programme, several workstreams are set up to deliver the programme objectives. This post is responsible for two workstreams, representing two distinct areas in the new facility:

• Education: The education facilities in Oriel will provide state-of-the-art learning environments, training rooms facilitating student interaction and technology use. Students in ophthalmology, optometry, nursing, and other clinical groups will benefit from increased exposure to clinical practice, improving education quality. Oriel will also serve as a recruitment tool, attracting top graduates and experienced staff.
• The Innovation Hub: The Innovation Hub is a flagship facility championing innovation and collaboration, bringing together teams from both partner organisations, including data scientists, the reading centre, image analytics, epidemiology, and digital innovation. The Post Holder will facilitate and support leadership in defining strategic and operational plans for these facilities, as well as support move planning and team preparations.

At Moorfields, we offer:

• Salary including High-Cost Area Supplement
• Opportunity to join the NHS Pension Scheme
• Free 24/7 independent counselling service
• Learning and development opportunities
• Easy and quick transport links
• A range of attractive benefits and discounts
