Project Manager, Service Transformation

The closing date is 12 April 2026

Job summary

The Project Manager will lead the design, development and delivery of new and existing services across the Lincolnshire PCN Alliance, supporting system-wide priorities and the ongoing transformation of primary care.

Working collaboratively with clinical, operational and system partners, the role will translate strategic priorities into practical, deliverable service models, ensuring alignment with commissioning requirements and the PCNA business plan.

The initial focus of the role will be to lead the development and implementation of a new, county-wide weight management service, designed to support patients through accessible, community-based interventions and multidisciplinary care. This will involve bringing together partners across primary care, community services and wider system organisations to deliver a coordinated, outcomes-focused model that supports long-term behaviour change and improved population health.

This is a fixed-term, full-time contract for 12 months with an anticipated start date as soon as possible. Due to service need, we are prioritising candidates who are able to start promptly, and this role may not be suitable for individuals with long notice periods.

Main duties of the job

The role will support the development and implementation of new models of care, coordinating activity across multiple stakeholders to ensure effective planning, delivery and embedding of change. This includes working across organisational boundaries to enable collaboration, align priorities and support the development of the Alliance and its member PCNs.

The postholder will provide project leadership, coordination and oversight, ensuring that programmes are delivered to a high standard, within agreed timescales, and that outcomes are achieved and sustained.

About us

The Lincolnshire PCN Alliance brings together 14 Primary Care Networks to work collectively at scale within the wider health and care system. As PCNs continue to mature, the focus looks towards delivering tangible improvements through population health management, service transformation, and stronger partnership working.

This includes supporting the development of neighbourhood-based models of care, bringing teams together across organisational boundaries to provide more joined-up, accessible services.

The PCN Alliance is expanding its delivery capability and is seeking a Project Manager to lead the development and implementation of these services, alongside supporting wider transformation programmes across Lincolnshire.
