Job description

Job responsibilities

West Leeds Primary Care Network is a mature and well developed PCN of approximately 60 staff in total. Historically, we have been given a number of pilots and projects to work on both clinically and administratively; as such we have highlighted the need to employ a dedicated Project Lead to collate and organise each of the discrete projects matrix style in order that the pathways through each project are smooth with all funding streams optimised. Furthermore, we intend to register with the Care Quality Commission in the very near future so the successful applicant will also have oversight of the registration framework and all that this entails. The successful applicant will work very closely with the PCN Leadership Team, the Operational Team and Practice Management to develop and implement the requisite policies and governance structures. This role will be on a fixed term contract basis to begin with but as it is a newly created post, it may be that we consider converting this to a permanent contract. In particular, if the successful applicant is able to bring a significant amount of new project work (and funding) to the PCN, we may consider the role on a permanent basis
