We’re looking for an experienced Delivery Lead to take ownership of a significant clinical quality and monitoring workstream within a large, multi-year health programme.

About the role
You’ll lead the coordination and delivery of a complex workstream focused on strengthening clinical safety, quality, monitoring, assurance and governance.

Working closely with programme leadership, other Delivery Leads, clinical leaders, operational teams and subject matter experts, you’ll ensure activity remains coordinated, dependencies are understood and key milestones and outcomes are delivered.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Providing day-to-day leadership and coordination across the workstream
• Driving delivery against agreed plans, milestones and outputs
• Proactively managing risks, issues, dependencies and competing priorities
• Managing interdependencies with other programme workstreams to support integrated delivery

• Identifying and helping remove barriers impacting delivery
• Preparing clear status reporting, papers and updates for programme governance and senior leadership forums

About you
We’re looking for someone with:

• Strong experience leading complex programmes, projects, workstreams or service improvement initiatives
• Proven delivery experience within large, complex organisations
• Strong planning, coordination and delivery management capability
• Experience managing significant risks, dependencies and competing priorities
• The ability to navigate complex stakeholder environments and balance different perspectives while maintaining momentum
• Confidence working with senior leaders, clinical stakeholders and subject matter experts
• The ability to move comfortably between strategic leadership and hands-on delivery

Experience within the health sector would be advantageous, particularly exposure to clinical quality, clinical governance, healthcare quality or quality monitoring.

A formal programme or project management qualification would also be beneficial.
