EPR Programme Manager
Job summary
Are you ready to lead a digital revolution in healthcare? As our EPR Programme Manager, you'll drive the strategic rollout of a group-wide Electronic Patient Record system that transforms how clinicians deliver care and how patients experience our services. You'll join a passionate Digital Services leadership team--partnering closely with the CDO, Associate Directors for Information Systems and IM&T, and the Group EPR Programme Director--to turn vision into reality.
In this role, you will:
- Champion large-scale, multi-disciplinary digital projects that span clinical departments, community teams, and hospital sites
- Challenge the status quo, innovate solutions, and embed best practices to exceed programme objectives
- Own your budget, steer governance, and deliver with autonomy, mentoring a team of EPR Project Managers to upskill and succeed
Bring your proven track record in digital programme management (NHS experience welcomed but not essential) and step into a role where your leadership directly shapes the future of patient care.
Main duties of the job
- Lead and control the EPR programme, defining scope, milestones, budgets, and KPIs
- Establish robust governance: prepare PID, project briefs, risk registers, change logs, and audit trails
- Direct and motivate multidisciplinary teams; provide guidance, performance management, and leadership
- Manage stakeholder and supplier relationships, negotiate contracts, and secure best value
- Monitor progress, identify off-target activities, and implement corrective actions
- Report programme status to the Group EPR Programme Director, Digital Strategy Board, and executive committees
- Coordinate interdependencies, benefits realisation, testing strategies, and training plans
- Ensure compliance with clinical, information governance, NHS guidance, and statutory requirements
- Mentor project managers: share lessons learned, document best practice, and drive continuous process improvement
- Oversee financial control: track capital spend, monitor costs, and ensure delivery within budget
