If you are a creative thinker with an interest in digital transformation and a desire to make a meaningful impact, we'd love to hear from you!



This is an important role within Digital Services, involving close collaboration with Digital colleagues and operational and clinical staff across the Trust. It will require effective engagement with internal and external stakeholders to deliver and embed digital Programmes of work



The Digital Programme Manager will have experience in the delivery of complex programmes and will therefore have detailed knowledge and skills in programme and project management and change management.



The Programme Manager will also be responsible for overseeing digital change and transformation, including the identification, monitoring, tracking, and realisation of benefits. This role involves engaging with clinical staff to facilitate user co-design of new processes and ensuring change assurance by aligning change management functions across digital, clinical, and Trust services. The Programme Manager must ensure compliance with NHS technical standards and will have accountability for staff, including line management and professional supervision of digital change delivery staff, as well as occasional matrix management of digital portfolio project staff. Additionally, the Programme Manager will be responsible for the identification, tracking, and realisation of financial benefits



We have a skilled and dedicated workforce of over 5000 colleagues working in a diverse range of services over 55 sites and within people's homes. We strive to enable a welcoming workplace culture that builds and celebrates civility, inclusivity and diversity, while providing a sense of belonging and trust.



Annual staff surveys, regular Pulse surveys and other engagement opportunities provide our people with lots of opportunity to tell us about their experiences of working with us. In the latest staff survey, 61% of colleagues gave us their views. It was great to hear that:



72% of colleagues would recommend the Trust as a place to work, ranking us 1st for Provider Trusts in the South West region on this question.



76% would recommend the standard of care provided in our services if a friend or relative needed treatment, also ranking us 1st in the South West region.



81% said that care of patients and service users is the Trust's priority, compared with an average in comparable NHS Trusts in England of 64%.



This high-level overview shows we are in a healthy position, with higher scores than average for comparable organisations, alongside a great response rate, indicating good staff engagement. However, we also know we have plenty of room for improvement in many areas. To that end, we continue to prioritise and invest in our commitment to genuinely becoming a Great Place to Work with consistent top-quartile performance in the annual staff survey and Pulse surveys.
