This position offers the opportunity to work on diverse initiatives that improve patient outcomes and reduce variation in care. You will use proven methodologies and tools to deliver projects efficiently, while engaging with stakeholders across health, social care and industry.

You will plan, manage and deliver projects to agreed timelines and standards, supporting innovation adoption and improvement initiatives. Responsibilities include coordinating multi-stakeholder meetings, monitoring progress and adjusting delivery plans where needed. You will contribute to evaluations, data analysis and reporting, ensuring compliance with governance and quality standards. Essential skills include strong organisational and project management capabilities, excellent communication and the ability to build relationships across diverse sectors. You should be adept at analysing complex information, using evidence-based improvement methodologies, and working flexibly within a matrix team. Proficiency in IT tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and attention to detail are critical. A commitment to inclusivity, patient-centred decision-making and continuous professional development is expected.
University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust strives to have an inclusive culture where everyone feels like they belong, can thrive, knows that they add value and feels valued.
