Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly skilled Senior Project Manager to lead the Renal 3Ps Transformation Programme at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.

- Work in partnership with clinical, nursing and operational leads to support the design, implementation and embedding of new models of care across the renal pathway, from prevention and early CKD management through to advanced kidney care, dialysis, transplantation and personalised care planning.
- Translate MoU funding schedules into clear financial and workforce delivery plans, ensuring appropriate tracking, forecasting and reporting of pay and non‑pay expenditure in line with Trust financial controls.
- Coordinate evaluation activity across all 3Ps workstreams, ensuring that each project produces robust evidence of impact in line with 3Ps principles and ICB requirements.
- Act always in accordance with Trust values and behaviours: Kind, Collaborative, Expert and Aspirational.
