We are currently looking to recruit an experienced Projects Manager for an NHS client of ours based in London.

The successful Senior Projects Manager ill be required to work in accordance with the requirements of individual projects and will be required to lead and be responsible for all aspects of the complete project lifecycle including management of the human and financial resources allocated to the project.

These projects often require changes to be made to operational processes as a consequence of introducing new systems and the Programme Manager will be responsible for ensuring that change management processes and techniques are appropriately utilized in order to implement the changes required. In this way we are looking for someone with experience in the following:

- Process Mapping

- Demand & Capacity principles; in order for business changes to be properly planned & resourced.

- Knowledge of Change Management

Some individuals can be worried by change and can react in different ways to enforced changes to day to day processes. The Programme Manager must be able to manage conflict and emotional situations in a mature and non-confrontational style whilst being clear on the direction required to be taken in order to realize the benefits defined within the business case.

During the various stages of a project the Programme Manager will be responsible for the creation and the quality of documentation required of that stage. Such documentation will include but not be restricted to;

* Project Mandate

* Project Brief

* Business Case (including Benefits register)

* Project Initiation Document (including risk register and issues log)

* Project Plan

* System Specification (e.g. Outputs Based Specification or Descriptive Document)

* Tender evaluation report

* Supply and Support contract

* Project Highlight, Exception and Stage reports

* Service Transition Documentations

* End of project reports (including lessons learned)

* Post Implementation Review

The Programme Manager will be responsible for the production of business cases, including the identification and delivery of benefits planned to be realised during the course of the project. Benefits not due to be realised during the project life cycle must be documented as part of project closure and have an operational 'owner' identified. These benefits will be highlighted to the IM&T Programme Board for ongoing monitoring of delivery.

During the procurement phase of a project the Programme Manager will lead contract negotiations, and will be responsible for management of the relationships with suppliers. It is expected that the project manager will be familiar with the various forms of procurement available via the OJEU processes for procurements of IT goods and services and will be familiar with the terms and conditions contained within the national standard form contracts. It is expected that the IT Project Manager will negotiate the schedules to those contracts in a manner that minimises the commercial risks to the Trust. For larger / more complex projects an external negotiator may be used, in which instance the Programme Manager will provide the brief to the negotiator and be a member of the negotiating team. A qualification in or knowledge or experience of commercial contract law would be a distinct advantage.
