Job summary
We have a fantastic opportunity for a creative and passionate Project Manager to join us at the award-winning Health Innovation Network (HIN).
Hosted by Guy's and St Thomas's NHS Foundation Trust, we enjoy the benefits of being NHS members of staff while focusing on innovation to improve the lives of patients and staff in the health and care sector. While this was important before, it has an even greater focus now with digital innovation being looked to help reduce elective care backlogs and health inequalities.
The main purpose of this post is to support the Graduates into Health team at the HIN with the delivery of our flagship Graduate Digital Data and Technology Scheme, recruiting and supporting 100s of grads to join the NHS across the country. Innovation is at the heart of everything we do, from delivering digital workforce transformational programmes to improving patient pathways, or internally with our wide range of health and mental health wellbeing initiatives.

Main duties of the job
Graduates into Health's main service is the Graduate Digital, Data and Technology Scheme (DDaT), commissioned by NHS England. This scheme provides a fast-track development scheme for Graduates to join NHS Trusts, ICBs/ICS, CSUs, Local Authorities, primary and third sector.
The Graduate scheme is a highly-focused development pathway for digital, data & technology graduates to become the next NHS digital, data & technology middle managers and beyond. We support graduates to develop into more senior roles, enabling digital teams to create transformational change throughout the NHS in England.
We are recruiting a Project Manager, a key senior role within the Graduate Scheme, which requires a wide range of business development, recruitment and graduate pastoral support specialist skills and acumen.
The Project Manager will focus on engaging with NHS organisations to build awareness of the NHS Graduate DDaT Scheme, influencing senior stakeholders to commission the scheme to source talented graduates, deliver assessment centres and provide ongoing development and pastoral support for digital managers from across all 9 English regions. The Project Manager will need to have extensive senior stakeholder management skills in order to engage with NHS managers and graduates, and work flexibly to support the whole scheme team as appropriate.
