We are seeking an exceptional Programme Director to join the Group Transformation Office and lead major transformation programmes across Norfolk and Waveney University Hospitals Group. This is a senior leadership opportunity where you will focus on operational recovery, pathway redesign, quality improvement, cost improvement and major service transformation across all three Trusts.  As Programme Director, you will provide strategic and hands-on leadership across complex programmes, ensuring delivery of measurable outcomes, benefits realisation and strong programme governance. You will work closely with senior clinical and operational leaders to design and implement sustainable improvements that support patient care, operational performance and workforce transformation. ### Main duties of the job The role requires an agile and adaptable leader who can move across programmes and Trusts as priorities evolve, bringing consistent methodology, pace and delivery discipline.

This Group-level role is primarily based in Norwich but requires regular travel across all three Trusts, including Great Yarmouth and King’s Lynn.  This is an exciting opportunity to shape and deliver transformational change at scale, working collaboratively across the Group to improve services, strengthen operational performance and support better outcomes for patients and staff. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities The Programme Director is a senior leadership role within the Group Transformation Office, responsible for leading and delivering complex, large-scale transformation and change programmes across Norfolk and Waveney University Hospitals Group.
