Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Project Manager to join the North West Ambulance Service’s established Programme Management Office (PMO).
The PMO here at NWAS is filled with friendly, dynamic, supportive and skilled project professionals with a great ethos and drive for delivery. We are supportive, compassionate and focused on improving patient care with the projects we are delivering. We offer a clear career pathway and are passionate about developing our staff to succeed in their project management journey.
The organisation also places a high emphasis and importance on staff health and wellbeing with a pool of resources available to all staff and a range of support networks aimed at diversity and inclusion.
The role is an ideal opportunity for someone with significant experience of working within project environments; as project manager you will have experience of projects using both traditional project management methodologies and also agile methodologies and must possess demonstrable experience of working using such methodologies.
This rewarding and challenging role is responsible for ensuring the smooth-running of PMO projects, overseeing the timely implementation of project plans, maintaining water-tight governance systems, fostering stakeholder relationships both internal and external, and leading the project team through the project lifecycle, from concept to delivery and into business as usual.
As every project we deliver is different you will be required to flex your skills to drive each individual project forward; this will include responsibility for project delivery and will include identifying when agile or traditional methods are more suitable for such delivery. You will closely monitor and update project schedules and budgets, prepare progress reports, progress action points, control risks and issues and liaise with key stakeholders.
The role requires an enthusiastic and motivated individual who pays particular attention to detail; you will have an excellent understanding and experience of the project lifecycle and the need for project management frameworks. You will possess high level skills in Microsoft office, including Word, Excel, Project, Visio and PowerPoint. You must be a team player, be able to prioritise and manage a diverse workload within tight deadlines, be confident at liaising with stakeholders at all levels and have excellent analytical skills.
North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust provides 24 hour, 365 days a year accident and emergency services to those in need of emergency medical treatment and transport.
Our highly skilled staff provide life-saving care to patients in the community and take people to hospital or a place of care if needed.
We also provide non-emergency patient transport services for those patients who require non-emergency transport to and from hospital and who are unable to travel unaided because of their medical condition or clinical need.
Alongside the other emergency services, we also work to ensure the safety of the public and treatment of patients in the event of a major incident.
We also deliver the NHS 111 service in the North West. NHS 111 replaced NHS Direct in 2013. This service was introduced to make it easier for people to access local NHS healthcare services in England. It provides non-emergency medical help fast, and is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Please ensure that you have fully read the job description and person specification before applying for this role.
Regular travel in your own vehicle may be required across the North West (subject to Agenda for Change terms and conditions) whilst a reduction in unnecessary journeys via the use of technology will be actively encouraged.
