Project Manager - Clinical Acute Networks
Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
The CANDo Programme works for the two acute Trusts in Dorset (Dorset County Hospital and University Hospitals Dorset). We bring together clinicians and managers from both trusts into networks to identify where working together more effectively can reduce inequalities, improve outcomes, improve service resilience or improve productivity. We then support these teams in making those collaborations a reality.
Who are you?
We need an extra project manager for 12 months who is able to deliver all the core project management skills and on top of that enthuse, persuade and inspire collaboration. You should be tenacious and resilient with a positive and "can-do" approach, able to create and exploit opportunities to grow collaboration between teams more used to competing with each other.
