Crynodeb

This is an exciting opportunity to join the North West Teenage and Young Adult (TYA) Network as a Project Manager, supporting improvements in cancer care for young people aged 16–24. You’ll work across a unique regional partnership that brings together two Principal Treatment Centres, twelve Designated Hospitals, commissioners, Cancer Alliances, and patient representatives to deliver high‑quality, consistent care.

You will play a key role in driving forward the Network’s work programme—bringing strong project management skills, curiosity, and the confidence to work across organisational boundaries. The role is ideal for someone who enjoys building relationships, analysing challenges, and turning insight into action. You will represent the Network with professionalism and compassion, working closely with senior clinicians, managers, and external partners.

If you’re passionate about improving services, thrive in a varied and collaborative environment, and want your work to genuinely influence outcomes for young people with cancer, we’d love to hear from you.

You will lead and support a range of improvement projects across the TYA Network, managing timelines, risks, data, and stakeholder engagement to ensure delivery against the Network’s work plan. Day‑to‑day, you will analyse complex issues, undertake audits and process mapping, and develop solutions that improve quality, safety, and experience for young people.

You will build strong relationships with clinical and non‑clinical teams across the region, acting as a key point of contact for project delivery. The role involves preparing high‑quality reports, presenting progress to senior decision‑makers, and contributing to governance meetings including the Network Oversight Group.

You’ll also support policy and guidance development, facilitate workshops, and ensure robust governance, information security, and quality assurance processes. Line‑managing administrative staff, you’ll foster a supportive team culture and uphold the Christie leadership standards. A willingness to travel across Network sites is essential.

The Christie is one of Europe’s leading cancer centres, treating over 60,000 patients a year. We are based in Manchester and serve a population of 3.2 million across Greater Manchester & Cheshire, but as a national specialist around 15% patients are referred to us from other parts of the country.

We provide radiotherapy through one of the largest radiotherapy departments in the world; chemotherapy on site and through 14 other hospitals; highly specialist surgery for complex and rare cancer; and a wide range of support and diagnostic services. We are also an international leader in research, with world first breakthroughs for over 100 years.

We run one of the largest early clinical trial units in Europe with over 300 trials every year. Cancer research in Manchester, most of which is undertaken on the Christie site, has been officially ranked the best in the UK.
