As we move into the next phase in the grouping of University Hospitals of Northamptonshire (UHN) and University Hospitals of Leicestershire (UHL) there is a requirement for a Group Head of Digital Programme Management Office.
The role of the Group Head of Digital Programme Management Office will be responsiblefor the development, implementation and management of a comprehensive Digital Transformation Portfolio acrossUniversity Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust and University Hospitals of Northamptonshire NHS Group.
The post holder is responsible for introducing and embedding an industry recognised project, programme methodology and culture across the group. The establishment of a Digital PMO function across the Group, and professional leadership of the departments project and programme management function.
The Group Head of Digital Programme Management Office is a key driver of strategic excellence for the Digital function and will make decisions regarding budget, resources and project/programme scopes. A key output of the role will be to ensure the “show back” cost of Digital projects and programmes is understood and coordinated to the wider organisation. These will inform decision making in respect to portfolio priorities, as well as analysis of the total cost of ownership for the proposed solutions.
The post holder will draw upon a range of standardised methodologies to devise and maintain the Portfolio Plan with professional rigour, including agile and more traditional P3O, PRINCE2 and Managing Successful Programmes (MSP).
The Group Head of Digital Programme Management Office will be responsible for coordinating with enterprise architects to ensure that the contract roadmap is understood, so that the planning and appropriate business case development takes place well in advance of the renewal and expiry dates.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
