The New Hospital Programme is more than building hospitals, it’s a once in a generation opportunity to shape the future of healthcare in England. We’re delivering over 40 new hospitals that will be modern, sustainable and built around the needs of patients and staff.
We’re looking for people who care about purpose, who thrive in complex environments and who want to help deliver change at scale for future generations.
The New Hospital Programme is transforming how healthcare infrastructure is delivered across England. We have an exciting opportunity for a Director - Design Delivery to join the programme.

• Identify and resolve technical challenges during construction phases.
• Lead quality assurance testing for performance, safety, and functionality
• Bring design teams together to drive excellence through shared learning and open communication across technical and non-technical teams.
The NHS England board have set out the top-level purpose for the new organisation to lead the NHS in England to deliver high-quality services for all, which will inform the detailed design work and we will achieve this purpose by:
Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities.
