## Job Content

### Job overview

This is more than a project support role

- Are you highly organised and enjoy keeping complex programmes on track?
- Do you have experience coordinating projects, meetings, actions and stakeholders?
- Are you looking for an opportunity to support one of the largest workforce transformation programmes in the UK?

If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Help shape the future of workforce technology, data and insight for more than 1.9 million NHS employees across England and Wales.

This is a unique opportunity to support the delivery of a nationally significant programme that will transform how the NHS attracts, recruits, develops and supports its people for years to come.

We're looking for a motivated and proactive individual with experience in areas such as

- Project coordination and administration
- Programme and portfolio support
- Meeting and governance management
- Stakeholder engagement and communication
- Action, risk and issue tracking
- Planning, reporting and documentation

Working at the heart of a major national transformation programme, you'll help coordinate activity across multiple workstreams, support programme governance, and ensure delivery remains organised, efficient and focused on outcomes.

If you're passionate about making things happen, enjoy working in a fast-paced environment and want to contribute to meaningful change across the NHS, we'd love to hear from you.

### Main duties of the job

The postholder will support delivery of implementation activity across a defined group of organisations, supporting health boards and trusts to prepare for transition, implementation and early adoption. Working alongside NHS organisations, NHSBSA and suppliers, the role will manage workstreams and support effective delivery of agreed activity.

You will support implementation activity using agreed frameworks, tools and documentation to monitor preparedness, follow up action plans and help organisations progress implementation. Working with the Programme Managers, NHS organisations, NHSBSA and suppliers, you will coordinate delivery plans, track risks and dependencies, support rollout activity and maintain focus on agreed timescales, governance requirements and project objectives.

You will provide practical guidance, project support and follow-up on agreed actions that strengthen local capability, readiness and adoption. You will also support stakeholder engagement, communicate project information clearly and escalate risks or barriers where required.

The role will support reporting, documentation and project information to enable governance and decision-making, including visibility of readiness, implementation status and emerging risks. You will monitor progress, identify where corrective action may be required and contribute to continuous improvement and successful project delivery.
