Thank you for considering a role at University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust (UHSussex), which includes St Richard’s Hospital, Chichester; Worthing Hospital; Southlands, Shoreham; Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton; and Princess Royal Hospital, Haywards Heath. We have an exciting opportunity for a Project Manager to lead and manage a diverse programme of delegated capital projects, supporting the Trust to deliver excellent clinical services and patient care.
Working within UHSussex Capital Development and Property directorate, you will be supported to develop as part of an experienced and collaborative team and through regular training opportunities. The team’s 2023 NHS Staff Survey results reported exceptionally high levels of motivation, sense of involvement, and satisfaction with the flexible working and development opportunities available. The Capital Development and Property team is integral to the successful delivery of UHSussex’s £70m annual capital investment plan, delivering projects of mixed complexity across our 5 hospital sites spread along Sussex’s coastline and in Haywards Heath.
To succeed in this role, you will need to demonstrate a sound understanding of project management expertise, finance, stakeholder engagement and management, programming, and problem-solving finesse with equivalent experience in a technical construction-related discipline and have a clear commitment to continuing professional development. You will have proven skills in effective people management and communication. Representing the Trust within construction project teams, you will require an understanding of the importance of stakeholder relationships leading to successful project delivery.
You will report to the Senior Capital Development Manager and be supported personally and professionally by a commitment to care and compassion that applies as much to our staff as it does to our patients.
Based in our Worthing office, our current project pipeline over the next 3 - 5 years sees major investment on construction projects being planned on all our hospital sites; a willingness and ability to travel to these sites will be required on a regular basis.
At UHSussex, diversity is our strength, and we want you to feel included to help us always put the Patient First, as shown in our Outstanding for Caring CQC rating.

We have a range of Staff Networks to help break down barriers and can offer a buddy to help new members settle in. We’re proud to be a Disability Confident Employer (Level 2) and a Veteran Aware Trust.
We treat our patients and staff with the same compassion and empathy we expect for ourselves. We’re here for them when they need us, and we go above and beyond to meet their needs. This can be seen in our Wellbeing Programme for staff, which is extensive and designed to support you when you need it - because we know that to look after others we must first look after ourselves.
As a university trust and a leader in healthcare research, we value learning, teaching, and training so that we can be the best that we can be. From the moment you start with us and throughout your career, we will help you to grow and develop. We hope that in choosing UHSussex you are choosing a long and happy career where you will be able to see the difference you make and feel valued for all that you do.
