Summary
As Transformation Manager, you will be at the centre of change, supporting and driving complex programmes that deliver measurable improvements in quality, efficiency, and sustainability. You’ll work closely with clinical and operational leaders, offering strategic insight and guiding teams through change. This is not just about managing projects; it’s about influencing decisions, driving innovation, and helping position QEHKL as a modern, patient-focused hospital for the future.
With a bold vision for the next decade, this is a unique opportunity to shape the future of healthcare at QEHKL. From service relocations and urgent care development to pathway redesign and digital transformation, you’ll play a key role in driving initiatives that improve patient experience, enhance operational performance, and support the hospital’s long-term strategic goals.
This role will contribute to the delivery of the Trust strategy with particular focus on the development and implementation of improvement projects within the Transformation & Strategy Team.
The post holder will focus on operational effectiveness, delivering business improvements, better services for patients and value for money across the Trust. As part of the Transformation Management Office, the post holder will contribute to the corporate aims and objectives of the organisation providing advice in all areas of improving business delivery.
The post holder will be responsible for providing expert improvement, change management and transformational support to aid the delivery of Trust wide, large scale, transformation projects within the Transformation Management Office.
There’s never been a more exciting time to join Team QEH. We’re working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital due to open in 2031/32 and we are also carrying out on one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we’ve ever undertaken.
Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.
At The QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community-based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs and South Lincs.
We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as ‘Good’, and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.
We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome. We love working here and think you will too.
Lead and deliver strategic transformation programmes across clinical, operational, and corporate services to improve patient outcomes, efficiency, and sustainability.
Act as a key driver of change, ensuring alignment with QEH’s strategic objectives and the wider hospital group vision.
Provide expert guidance and leadership on complex projects, including service relocations, urgent care development, pathway redesign, and digital innovation.
Support integration work across the hospital group, harmonising processes and pathways as part of the move towards a single board structure.
Ensure robust governance, risk management, and benefits realisation for all transformation initiatives.
Build strong relationships with clinicians, operational leaders, and external stakeholders to co-design and implement change.
