• Identifying opportunities to improve delivery timescales and realise efficiencies sooner.

• Providing credible assurance around programme progress, risks, milestones and delivery outcomes.

• Experience managing multiple workstreams and complex delivery dependencies.

• Experience working closely with software development, data and BI teams.

• Excellent senior stakeholder and executive communication skills.

• Confidence challenging technical teams, delivery assumptions and timelines.

• Experience delivering CRM, software, digital transformation or client-facing technology programmes.

• Strong analytical, organisational and problem-solving skills.

What you'll get

• Up to £90,000 FTE, pro rata for part-time hours.

• Initially 15-20 hours per week with flexibility around working patterns.

• Predominantly remote working.

• The opportunity to lead a strategically important digital transformation programme.

• Significant autonomy and ownership over programme delivery.

• Exposure to senior executives and multiple technical and operational workstreams.

• The opportunity to make a genuine impact on digital healthcare delivery.

• Potential for the assignment to extend or increase in hours depending on programme requirements.

The Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Programme Manager to step into a role where they can genuinely make a difference.

We’re proud to be a 5-star rated company on Google. See what people say about us.

What I wanted from this partnership was to be able to take a step back and free me up to focus on my other responsibilities in addition to recruitment. Working with Corecom alone made everything so straight forward. I wasn’t having to chase up several agencies and there was no duplication of candidates. Tunstall was their no1 focus and I trusted them to deliver, which they did. There was noticeable improvements in CV-to-interview and interview-to-placement ratios which was a real pain point before changing the model on how we worked together. Working on a retained basis gave me confidence that extra effort and resource would be put in to filling the roles.
