Project Manager, NHS Innovation Accelerator

The role

The NIA is recruiting an enthusiastic, motivated and organised project manager to support the operational delivery of the overall programme. As we are a small team, there will be interdependencies between roles; post holders are expected to flexibly support the work of colleagues and the wider team as well as ad hoc projects and workstreams.

The NIA aims to deliver on the commitment detailed within the Five Year Forward View – creating the conditions and cultural change necessary for proven innovations to be adopted faster and more systematically through the NHS, and to deliver examples into practice for demonstrable patient and population benefit. More recently the NIA was highlighted in the NHS Long Term Plan.

The NIA’s mission is to spearhead the national acceleration of innovation and business growth of health and care innovators to help enhance patient experiences and outcomes, improve our NHS and grow employment in the UK. The NIA does this by helping its Fellows solutions to extend their footprint in the NHS and further afield as well as supporting their business growth.

The role would suit a proactive and well organised individual that is happy to get stuck in and lead on the operational aspects of the workstreams. The role provides a level of autonomy; the ideal candidate will therefore be self-initiating and confident in making decisions as well as knowing when to refer up.
