Job description

Overview

Job summary: The Trust's strategic focus is on creating a digital environment that simplifies processes, enhances collaboration, and ensures that staff can focus on delivering high-quality care without being burdened by unnecessary administrative tasks or inefficient systems.

Our Electronic Health Record (EHR) support services within the Digital division are aligned to establish a more integrated team to improve collaboration and communication between the EHR facing teams and, as a result, improve the quality of support provided to our frontline staff.

A Digital Project Management Office (PMO) has been introduced to better manage the numerous, complex projects that are ongoing within the division and support the effective delivery of digital projects and programmes and digital workstreams in Trust projects and programmes.

This selection process will include a short interview and a test on 17 October. The successful candidates from this round will then be invited to attend a full panel interview on 27 October.

Responsibilities

Main duties of the job include:

• Provide project management to the Digital Department, working across the Digital Directorate and with stakeholders in the Trust and beyond.
• Establish and maintain a wide range of effective working relationships across SABP, delivering a range of digital projects and/or digital workstreams within trust approved programmes of work.
• Use an appropriate project management methodology to manage allocated projects through their lifecycle from inception to delivery.
• Drive and coordinate the planning and delivery of a range of digital projects, including developing project plans to ensure delivery against key milestones using appropriate project planning approaches.
• Handle highly complex information, understand interdependencies between initiatives and projects, and engage in potentially contentious conversations with colleagues on delivery status.
• Facilitate and enable high-level thinking, visioning and problem solving in sessions designed to encourage productive discussions with clear objectives and outputs.
• Provide project management and support to technical teams and the wider Digital Directorate, including planning, implementation, project progress reporting and presentations.
