Guy’s and St Thomas’ is among the UK’s busiest and most successful NHS foundation trusts. We provide a full range of hospital and community services for people in south London and as well as specialist care for patients from further afield including cancer, renal, orthopaedic, respiratory and cardiovascular services.
Guy’s is home to the largest dental school in Europe and a £160 million Cancer Centre opened in 2016. As part of our commitment to provide care closer to home, in 2017 we also opened a cancer centre and a kidney treatment centre at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Sidcup. St Thomas’ has one of the largest critical care units in the UK and one of the busiest emergency departments in London. It is also home to Evelina London Children’s Hospital.
Evelina London cares for local children in Lambeth and Southwark and provides specialist services across south east England including cardiac, renal and critical care services. We lead a number of specialist service networks aiming to ensure children are treated locally where possible, but have access to specialist expertise when they need it. Our community services include health visiting, school nursing and support for families of children with long-term conditions.
Our adult community services teams deliver care at the heart of the local communities we serve, working in partnership with GPs, local authorities and other healthcare and voluntary sector organisations. Working with our partners in Lambeth and Southwark, we are focusing on new ways of working to improve care for local patients.
In February 2021 the Royal Brompton and Harefield joined Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, bringing together world-leading expertise in the care and research of heart and lung disease. Our merger provides a once in a generation opportunity to build a lasting, world-renowned heart and lung centre, providing the highest quality care for patients and conducting world-leading research.
We have a reputation for clinical excellence and high quality teaching and research. We are part of King’s Health Partners, one of eight accredited UK academic health sciences centres. In partnership with King’s College London we have dedicated clinical research facilities including an MHRA accredited Phase I clinical trials unit.
Patients are at the heart of everything we do and we pride ourselves on ensuring the best possible patient experience as well as safe, high quality care. We are proud to have one of the lowest mortality rates in the NHS. Following a comprehensive Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection in 2019 we maintained our overall rating of ‘good’. Our adult community services achieved a rating of ‘outstanding’.
The commitment of our 23,500 staff is key to our success. We are one of the largest local employers and we aim to develop and support all our staff so they are able to deliver high quality, safe and efficient care. The 2019 NHS staff survey results show that we have one of the most engaged and motivated workforces in the NHS. We know this has a positive impact on the care provided to our patients.
We have one of the most ambitious capital investment programmes anywhere in the NHS.
Job overview
Are you passionate about innovation, addressing inequalities and using evidence to improve health and care outcomes for our south London population?
Do you have consultancy experience that you can bring to help grow our offer on evaluation and insights?
The Health Innovation Network (HIN) South London is looking for a Senior Programme Manager in our Insights team with the passion and drive to support health and care organisations in South London (and beyond) to deliver positive change through innovation.
Advert
The postholder will support the Programme Director for Insights to lead a team who are passionate about using evaluation, data analytics and health economics to improve our health and care systems, deliver impact and improve health equity. They will be responsible for providing overall management of large scale and complex projects within the Insights portfolio, taking responsibility for the operational delivery of the HIN’s evaluation service. They will be an experienced professional with a range of experience to be able to address both the programme management and extensive subject matter expertise in evaluation required for the successful delivery of the HIN’s work on evaluation.
This role is not suitable for project/programme managers who do not have extensive expertise and experience in designing and conducting large scale and complex evaluations in health and care settings. The postholder will draw on their experience in business development and securing income through working in a consultancy environment. The successful candidate will need to have considerable proven experience writing bids/proposals to secure fee-for-service projects and producing high quality outputs.
Working for our organisation
Health Innovation Network South London (HIN) is the HIN for South London. We operate under our own HIN brand, but our organisation is hosted by, and staff are employed by, Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.
We work with our members, national commissioners (NHS England & Improvement, Office for Life Sciences) and industry to make sure South Londoners benefit daily from innovations and to learn about what works. We don’t see innovation as solely relating to new products or technology: we’re often innovating with clinicians and others to redesign existing pathways or make other changes to the way care is delivered.
Our clinical and innovation themes each have specific projects, identified and shaped in partnership with professionals and experts, and patients and the public from across South London. Our philosophy is to promote self-care and encourage a ‘whole person' approach, by integrating physical, mental health and social care across traditional boundaries.
Our Values
Brave - We encourage our teams and others to be brave with their ideas and support them to try something new.
Open - We're open about what we do, and we share what we learn.
Kind - We care about each other, the people we work with and about the health and wellbeing of South Londoners.
Together - We build communities and networks, we collaborate, and we connect.
Different - We think differently, and we are strong because of our diverse backgrounds, talents and experiences.
