Summary

A Vacancy at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.


This is an exciting opportunity to join our Corporate Nursing Division and play a key role in driving quality, improvement, and excellence across the Trust. As Project Coordinator, you will be at the heart of our accreditation, quality, and patient experience programmes, supporting initiatives that directly influence the safety, outcomes, and experiences of our patients.

You will work closely with the Corporate Quality Senior Nursing Team, providing high‑level project management, coordination, and organisational support to ensure that our systems, processes, and governance structures run smoothly and effectively. This is a dynamic and varied role where no two days are the same. You’ll use your advanced administrative, analytical, and project skills to help shape and deliver work that truly matters.

Working autonomously, you will bring energy, structure, and innovation to a busy and forward‑thinking team, helping us maintain high standards, deliver key priorities, and support our ongoing commitment to outstanding patient care. If you enjoy managing multiple priorities, improving processes, and being part of a team that is passionate about making a difference, we would love to hear from you.


In this fast‑paced and rewarding role, you will play a key part in shaping the quality of care delivered across the Trust. As Project Coordinator, you will provide project management, coordination, and high‑level administrative support to the Corporate Quality Senior Nursing Team, contributing to programmes that directly influence patient safety, experience, and outcomes.

A central part of the role involves gathering, analysing, and preparing high‑quality data and evidence for accreditation visits. Your work will highlight strengths, identify improvements, and drive actions that enhance care across our wards. You will develop robust systems, produce clear reports and audit tools, and ensure teams are well prepared for quality reviews.

You will manage multiple projects, coordinate key meetings and events, maintain accurate records, and ensure timely follow‑up of actions. Working autonomously, you will prioritise your workload, support electronic quality monitoring systems, and build strong working relationships across the organisation.

Alongside this, you will provide essential PA‑level support to senior nursing leaders, ensuring effective diary management, communication, and governance. You will also support junior administrative staff, contributing to a positive, high‑performing team environment.

This role suits someone organised, proactive, and passionate about improvement, with the drive to make a genuine impact on patient care.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a dynamic and forward‑thinking Corporate Nursing Division, where your work will directly influence the quality of care, patient experience, and outcomes across our Trust. As Project Coordinator, you will become a central part of the engine that drives our accreditation and quality improvement programmes, helping clinical teams showcase excellent practice while identifying meaningful opportunities for change.

You will take the lead on coordinating a wide range of quality and accreditation activities, ensuring each project runs smoothly, on time, and with the highest standards of governance. A key element of your role will be gathering, analysing, and preparing high‑quality data for accreditation visits —work that enables the Trust to understand how we are performing, celebrate success, and identify improvements that truly make a difference to patients and families.

In addition to your project responsibilities, you will provide high‑level PA and organisational support to the Corporate Quality Senior Nursing Team, managing diaries, coordinating correspondence, preparing meeting papers, and helping to ensure that the governance framework supporting patient safety and quality runs seamlessly. You will also offer day‑to‑day supervision and support to junior administrative staff, helping build a cohesive, responsive, and high‑performing team.

This role is perfect for someone who is organised, proactive, motivated, and eager to make a tangible difference. Your work will support the delivery of safer care, a better patient experience, and continuous improvement across the Trust , giving you the opportunity to contribute to something that truly matters every single day.
