Job overview
A wonderful pilot opportunity has arisen in the Cancer Directorate, which will be focused on strengthening the community assessment for men with non-specific lower urinary tract symptoms or marginally raised PSA.

We are inviting applications from all candidates who have experience in leading projects and providing administrative support to project teams. The role will require liaising with the Primary Care team, creating a collaborative working strategy to meet project aims, and working closely with the prostate cancer clinical lead and the Cancer Alliance.
The candidate will need to demonstrate excellent project management and data collection skills, be able to use a variety of computer-based programmes, create action plans, take minutes, and co-ordinate meetings.

* Highly effective communication skills, including persuading and motivating.
* Ability to analyse data, draw conclusions, and present in report format.
* Project Management Skills, demonstrated through relevant experience.
* Planning analytical and organisational skills.
* Operate effectively in a flexible and demanding environment and proactively engage with NHS staff, consultants, contractors, technical partners, and Primary care.
