Programme Manager Health and Society Quarter

A bit about our School of Health & Society…

Our School of Health & Society is one of the largest providers of nursing, midwifery and allied health professional education programmes in the UK, known for our track record of collaborating with a wide range of industry partners across health and social care to produce highly skilled graduates with real work experience. A large and diverse School we also offer education in psychology, sport, social sciences, policing, social work and counselling and psychotherapy.

We are at an interesting time in the Higher Education sector, there is significant change in terms of oversight, student expectations and changing demographics and we are trying to do things differently so that we stay ahead of these changes. Our connection to industry is stronger than ever and we're proud to have more partnerships with SMEs than any other Greater Manchester University. It's everything we do and the way we do everything.

We are about to embark on an exciting multimillion pound redevelopment project for the Frederick Road area of the University of Salford campus, as part of our overall University Campus Masterplan in conjunction with our partners .  In this role you will play a key part in shaping and delivering the Masterplan for the School of Health and Society. We have been awarded 5.8 million by the Office for Students, towards a new Clinic building, phase one of the redevelopment, which will provide high specification clinical standard space, ancillary spaces and staff accommodation. This needs to be delivered by March 31 2025. We will deliver public facing services in the clinics, with partners, offering a unique opportunity for student learning, workforce upskilling and adding social value to the communities of Greater Manchester.

The post holder will be responsible for managing all operational aspects of the School’s masterplan project activities, ensuring successful delivery to all stakeholders. Project management and stakeholder development will be the key activities, ensuring that the objectives of each of the activities are met. There will be additional project management for the design, planning and construction aspects of the project via external consultants and central University project management support to advise on aspects of governance and reporting. The School of Health and Society is offering this fixed term role to deliver phase one and provide oversight for phase 2 planning and initiation. Depending on external funding streams, planning and timescales there may be opportunity to extend the duration of this role.

So what will the role involve?

Stakeholder Engagement: working with workstream leads and all stakeholders to co-create and deliver our vision

Project Management: managing all operational aspects of the project and associated delivery relationships; progressing the risks, issues and dependencies, project reporting and financial management
