There is more to the RCN than you might think. We're a trade union with a membership of over half a million nurses, midwives, nursing support workers and students. We support their practice, represent them, lobby on their behalf, and develop them. We exist to make a positive difference - to the working lives of our members and ultimately to standards in patient care. Our employees are drawn from many walks of life - we are nurses, marketers and communicators, administrators, IT professionals, policy and finance experts, lawyers... together we are so much more. We couldn't do what we do without our people.

The role

As a PMO Project Manager you'll use your positive attitude and your knowledge, training and resilience to support a variety of different projects.

Whatever your background, you'll be efficient, accurate and will enjoy the challenge of working on different assignments according to organisational priorities. You will have a strong business head and strong background in budgetary oversight.

The ability to foster strong professional relationships and encourage close collaboration between departments is at the heart of this Project management role.

The person

You will have a qualification in Project Management and experience supporting project delivery in complex environments with competing priorities.

It is important that you have account management experience, and you will bring creativity and innovation to business and commercial environments.

To succeed at the Royal College of Nursing all you need to do is think bigger, better and brighter. And with an attitude like that, anything's possible.
