Digital Health and Care Innovation Centre (DHI) brings together Scotland's public sector, academia, charities and industry to create new ways of working, and to co-design digital solutions to some of the country's biggest health and care challenges. Our unique needs-led approach is an essential link between the Scottish Government’s national priorities and the wealth of talent across different sectors and communities in Scotland. This creates opportunities for innovators, entrepreneurs and enterprises to develop proven, scalable, and commercially viable solutions for use across Scotland and for export to other markets. That also helps Scotland to be at the forefront of the growing global digital health and care economy through developing the right workforce, infrastructure and policies to attract investment and new jobs.

Our Innovation Centre is hosted by the University of Strathclyde and we are looking for an enthusiastic Programme Manager with change management skills. This position will suit someone that has strong experience in digital heath and care, with the leadership skills in delivering programmes of work and projects that enable change using digital within this sector.

Applications are invited from candidates seeking a challenging role. The successful candidate will run the Project Management Office of an organisation with an exciting portfolio of digital innovation projects which support health and care services. Projects bring together industry, public services and academia and citizens to develop innovations to improve services. The Programme Manager will manage a small team of staff located across Scotland and will be responsible for the effective Project Management methodologies to be adopted across the organisation to ensure robust delivery of projects.

Some travel will be expected as the Digital Health and Care Innovation Centre has a national remit.

Formal interviews for this post will be held early December 2025.

Informal enquiries about the post can be directed to Janette Hughes, Director of Planning and Performance (janette.hughes@dhi-scotland.com).
