Project Delivery

Governance

Ensure the project is managed within a proportionate and robust project management methodology, including clear business cases, defined functional specifications, approved project documentation, effective change control, governance, and structured handover, closure and post-project evaluation. Establish and maintain effective risk and issue management arrangements, underpinned by accurate assessment of cost, benefit and risk, and proactive mitigation to support delivery confidence. Develop and manage productive relationships with stakeholders across partner and regional organisations, coordinating and integrating activity across all workstreams and ensuring effective communication, negotiation and issue resolution throughout project delivery. Analyse complex qualitative and quantitative information, undertaking horizon scanning and research into improvement, transformation and translational best practice, and providing clear options and recommendations to senior leaders and project stakeholders. Ensure the programme delivers a future-ready clinical model supported by integrated digital, operational and workforce transformation, with readiness assured for key milestones including planning approvals, procurement gateways, construction, commissioning and hospital opening. Ensure full compliance with statutory, regulatory and NHS infrastructure standards, embedding patient safety, clinical quality, operational safety, sustainability, equality and a safety-first culture throughout design, construction and delivery phases.

Oversee programme governance arrangements to ensure they operate effectively, support evidence-based decision-making, and align with Frimley and partner governance structures, maintaining the programme’s assurance and approvals plan. Quality assure project delivery, ensuring internal consistency and external coherence with infrastructure planning, inter-programme dependencies, corporate requirements, technical standards and the strategic vision. Lead data-driven performance reporting, producing high-quality programme documentation and providing timely, accurate insights to the Programme Board, Trust Board, NHP and external stakeholders. Set and manage programme budgets and resources, ensuring optimal utilisation, monitoring expenditure against benefits realisation, and escalating resource or financial risks to the Programme Director as appropriate. Ensure robust management of programme risks, issues and dependencies, maintaining effective escalation routes and supporting an integrated approach to project and programme management. Establish and maintain consistent programme controls, tools, methodologies and reporting frameworks aligned with NHS capital programme standards, HM Treasury Green Book, IPA guidance, and lead preparation for external reviews and assurance.
