Summary
We are seeking a skilled and experienced project or programme manager to join the redevelopment team at West Hertfordshire NHS Trust, working on the Combined Watford Scheme (CWS).
The CWS is a high-profile programme to deliver a new Watford General Hospital (WGH), potentially alongside a new Mount Vernon Cancer Centre (MVCC), subject to the outcome of public consultation.
It is a joint programme being delivered by WHTH and UCLH, therefore requiring a collaborative and joined-up PMO function to manage delivery.
This PMO role will join at an exciting time in the programme to establish and embed a structured and proactive PMO approach and culture within the CWS.
This role will be expected to work across several functional areas, required to deliver a broad and high functioning programme management office (PMO), as described within the job description. These areas include:
• Programme Management and PMO delivery
• Governance and Reporting
• Financial Management

With a new hospital planned for Watford, work underway to update theatres at St Albans City Hospital and plans for a neighbourhood healthcare centre in Hemel Hempstead, this is an exciting time to join us.
We are building on the success of our award-winning virtual hospital and re-imagining models of care, working closely with partners and making the most of advances in digital healthcare.
Staff wellbeing and development are a priority, as is the role of innovation in improving clinical care, outcomes and patient experience.
Our vision is Excellent patient care, together and our values are to be empowered, compassionate, professional and inclusive. They capture an important balance across what we must all do as individuals and to support others.
