We are seeking a skilled and experienced project manager to work as part of a team to coordinate, develop and manage significant change projects for the Edinburgh Integration Joint Board. This is a permanent opportunity, working within our Strategic Planning division.

This is an exciting time to join Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership as we shape a new portfolio of work to deliver our Strategic Plan 2025-28. Initially new project managers can expect to be aligned to workstreams that deliver on our four key priorities; prevention & early intervention, maximising independence, protecting our most vulnerable, and using our resources effectively.

In more general terms you will be responsible for the development and delivery of projects aimed at maximising efficiency and delivering future sustainability. As part of the team, you will be responsible for all aspects of project management and play a key role in leading change and improvement, working with senior managers from across health and social care.

You will be responsible for ensuring that robust business cases and clear plans are developed, risks and dependencies are well-managed, and benefits are realised. You should have previous experience of building successful, collaborative relationships with a wide range of stakeholder groups. You will have strong communication, engagement and presentation skills and the ability to present complex information with confidence.

The role includes rotational working, with projects focused on corporate planning, strategic programmes, and quality.

This is an integrated post, and the successful candidate will be able to choose between NHS Lothian employment and City of Edinburgh Council terms and conditions of employment. This includes salary.
