Health and Care Innovation Programme Manager
Band 8a
Job overview
The Programme Manager will play a key role in establishing a Centre for Health and Care Innovation within Humber and North Yorkshire, building on a strong foundation of collaborative research and innovation activity and pipeline of new innovation projects. The Programme Manager will be based within the Department of Academic Respiratory Medicine in Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, part of the Humber Health Partnership but will work with a collaborative network across the healthcare and innovation system, including the University of Hull, Humber and North Yorkshire (HNY) Integrated Care Board (ICB), the Health Innovation Network, Industry Partners and others.
Main duties of the job
The Programme Manager will work with colleagues across the healthcare system in HNY and beyond to create a Centre for Health and Care Innovation, focussing within the field of respiratory medicine but with the opportunity to expand to new disease areas. The Programme Manager will oversee a portfolio of innovation projects, coordinate expansion of Centre activities and establish and oversee key governance processes.
The post holder will work as a part of an established team of research nurses and clinical trials assistants. Liaison with external research partners such as pharmaceutical companies, research networks and clinical trials units will be required.
Although the post holder's primary base would be within academic respiratory medicine, there is an expectation that the post holder will be flexible and responsive to the research needs of the organisation and may therefore be required to work in other research areas or as part of the 'Generic Research Team'.
Working for our organisation
The Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest acute and community Partnership arrangements in the NHS, seeing well over one million patients every year and managing a budget of over £1.3 billion.
Made up of two Trusts - Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) - our Partnership has significant ambitions and is committed to delivering world-class hospital and community services for the 1.65 million people we serve.
Together we employ nearly 20,000 staff. Our five main hospital sites are Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital, Scunthorpe General Hospital and Goole and District Hospital, for NLAG and Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital for HUTH.
As Teaching Hospitals working with the Hull York Medical School, we both lead and contribute to research in many areas - biomedical research, primary care, palliative medicine, cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, vascular surgery, cancer surgery and oncology.
We believe that by developing a diverse, inclusive, innovative, skilled and caring workforce, we can deliver excellent care to our patients and a great future for our employees, our Partnership and our community.
