Job description

Women and Children's Programme Project Manager

Cornwall is a special place - a rural, peninsulacounty that is served by just one acute healthcare provider, the RoyalCornwall Hospitals NHS Trust (RCHT).

We have three sites - the main hospital in Truro, plus a centre of excellence for orthopaedics at St Michael's Hospital in Hayle and a community acute hub at West Cornwall Hospital in Penzance. Together, they serveover 600,000 people across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

Over the next 10 years, RCHT will experience a major transformation. Our new Women and Children's Hospital will be built on our Truro site as part of the national New Hospital Programme. This major change will go far beyond structural and infrastructure changes; we also have plans to become a more digitally enabled, "smart" hospital.

Associated changes between now and then include a new microbiology unit built to the centre of the site, upgraded electrical infrastructure, improved parking and access routes, new pharmacy offices and a relocated cardiac department. In fact, more than a third of the site will change.And at the end of the programme of works, the Princess Alexandra Wing will be demolished.

If you would like to come and join this exciting programme, we are looking to appoint a motivated and enthusiastic individual who has a proven track record working as a project manager.

Main duties of the job

The PM role will provide dedicated project management support to projects within the overall programme including a number of enabling projects as required to facilitate the main scheme, some of which are large projects (circa £25m) in their own right.

The appointed PM will need to lead projects through all phases of development, acting as PM for the Client and taking responsibility for coordinating, managing and reporting on all aspects of delivery including the programme, cost, quality, risk and change management that make up the requirements for successful delivery of each stage of the project.

The job role requires an experienced construction professional ideally experienced in health care projects with a minimum NEC4 qualification, to lead the delivery of one or more of the Trust's major capital construction projects to successful outcomes. The role will include undertaking project management services for the client in the delivery of the major projects within the Women and Children's programme. This may include the appointment of professional project and design teams, procurement and contract strategy, selection of contractors, coordinating and managing design, construction and post construction phases, and managing large and complex stakeholder groups (both internal and external to the Trust).
