The Programme Portfolio Lead will be responsible for a wide range of multi-million-pound programmes. This role has overall responsibility for all the programmes in the Digital Portfolio of new and/or large-scale complex programmes and projects, which are individually led by the respective Senior Programme Managers, Project Managers and Senior Project Transformational Specialists to support the delivery of digital priorities and digitally enabled transformation of the Trust, working in partnership with local, regional and national bodies.

We are looking for experienced programme and portfolio managers who have significant experience in digital strategy and transformation. You will have a proven track record of delivering large scale programmes and an excellent understanding of governance, reporting and structure.

Originally formed in 2000, ELFT has long been recognised as a centre of excellence for mental health care, innovation and improvement. We care for a population of more than 750,000 and we are proud to serve one of the most culturally diverse parts of the UK. In Bedfordshire and Luton, we are now responsible for a further 630,000 people’s mental health and community health care needs. Wherever patients receive our services and from whichever team, our values of care, respect and inclusivity underpin all that we do. Valuing the diversity of our local population is fundamental to realising our vision to provide outstanding healthcare to our diverse community. In September 2016, the Trust was proud to be rated as ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission, and the Trust was once again rated at ‘Outstanding’ by the CQC in June 2018 and 2021.

Our Board have clear ambition to be a ‘Digital First’ organisation. Our digital strategy is a collaboration between the Trust senior management team, the Digital Team, and a wide range of stakeholders who firmly believe in building upon our digital capabilities to ensure ELFT are regarded as pioneers in Digital. The scale of response to the COVID-19 pressures, particularly enabling remote and mobile working, and setting up the Stratford vaccination centre has been remarkable. However, there are also significant challenges to address. Digital tools and services are now fundamental to the management and delivery of our services. This is an extremely exciting time to be joining our Trust on this journey.
